Copilot API Adds Review Metrics for AI Adoption
GitHub Changeloghigh confidence
Why it matters
- →New metrics provide insights into the efficiency of code reviews with AI adoption.
- →Helps organizations measure the impact of Copilot on engineering throughput.
- →Enables targeted improvements in review processes based on AI adoption phases.
GitHub has updated its Copilot usage metrics API to include new metrics that measure code review velocity. The API now reports the median time from pull request creation to first review and the median number of review cycles before merging. These metrics are available in enterprise and organization reports, providing insights into the impact of AI adoption on engineering throughput. By analyzing these metrics, organizations can assess whether deeper Copilot integration leads to more efficient review processes.

GitHub REST API Enhances Multi-User Budget Tracking
GitHub has streamlined budget management for enterprises by introducing a REST API endpoint that allows for efficient tracking of individual user consumption against multi-user budgets. Previously, checking each user's budget usage required separate API calls, making the process cumbersome for large organizations. Now, enterprise owners and billing managers can quickly identify users nearing their budget limits, thanks to new filtering and sorting capabilities. This update simplifies financial oversight and reduces the need for custom scripts, making budget management more accessible and efficient.
