Orchestrating AI Code Review at scale

Learn about how we built a CI-native AI code reviewer using OpenCode that helps our engineers ship better, safer code.

The AI engineering stack we built internally — on the platform we ship

We built our internal AI engineering stack on the same products we ship. That means 20 million requests routed through AI Gateway, 241 billion tokens processed, and inference running on Workers AI, serving more than 3,683 internal users. Here's how we did it.

Chao Li: Understanding PostgreSQL REPACK Through repack.c

REPACK is a new PostgreSQL 19 feature for physically compacting a table by rewriting it into new storage. Like VACUUM, it deals with the space left behind by dead tuples, but it does so by building a fresh table file instead of mostly cleaning pages in place. Ordinary VACUUM can mark space reusableinside the table and may truncate some empty pages at the end, but it usually cannot fully return bloat to the operating system. REPACK, like VACUUM FULL, rewrites the table into a compact file and ...

A Systematic Review of User Experiments Measuring the Effects of Dark Patterns

arXiv:2604.15323v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deceptive/Manipulative Patterns (DMP) are interface designs, also known as ``dark patterns,'' that manipulate user behavior. While considerable attention has been paid to their ethical and legal implications, empirical evidence about their real-world effects remains diffuse. This review synthesizes up-to-date experimental studies, focusing on works that quantify how (or whether) DMPs influence users. We also aggregate findings on interventions ...

Acoustic and Facial Markers of Perceived Conversational Success in Spontaneous Speech

arXiv:2604.15322v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Individuals often align their speaking patterns with their interlocutors, a phenomenon linked to engagement and rapport. While well documented in task-oriented dialogues, less is known about entrainment in naturalistic, non-task and virtual settings. In this study, we analyze a large corpus of spontaneous dyadic Zoom conversations to examine how conversational dynamics relate to perceived interaction quality. We extract multimodal features enco...

Beyond Content Exposure: Systemic Factors Driving Moderators' Mental Health Crisis in Africa

arXiv:2604.15321v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Content moderators review disturbing content to protect social media users, often at significant cost to their mental health. Recent reports document the mental health conditions of African moderators as notably problematic. Beyond the content itself, what factors contribute to the deteriorating mental health of these workers? We surveyed 134 moderators across Africa to understand their mental health and interviewed 15 moderators to contextuali...

Towards Measuring Interactive Visualization Abilities: Connecting With Existing Literacies and Assessments

arXiv:2604.15320v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: How do we assess people's abilities to interact with data visualizations? The current state-of-the-art visualization literacy tests -- such as VLAT and its derivatives -- only involve the use of static visualizations. Despite advances in investigating multiple visualization abilities, we do not yet have formal methods to assess the ability of a person to interact with a data visualization effectively. In this position paper, we discuss related ...

Explainable Iterative Data Visualisation Refinement via an LLM Agent

arXiv:2604.15319v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Exploratory analysis of high-dimensional data relies on embedding the data into a low-dimensional space (typically 2D or 3D), based on which visualization plot is produced to uncover meaningful structures and to communicate geometric and distributional data characteristics. However, finding a suitable algorithm configuration, particularly hyperparameter setting, to produce a visualization plot that faithfully represents the underlying reality a...

Mapping Ecological Empathy: A Semantic Network Analysis of Player Perceptions in 3D Environmental Education Games

arXiv:2604.15317v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As the global climate crisis intensifies, 3D video games have emerged as powerful, interactive simulations for Environmental Education (EE). However, empirical assessment of their pedagogical efficacy remains epistemologically challenged. Traditional evaluation metrics, such as pre-post surveys, often suffer from response bias and fail to capture the nuanced, emergent psychological shifts players experience during gameplay. This paper proposes ...

Anthropomorphism and Trust in Human-Large Language Model interactions

arXiv:2604.15316v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: With large language models (LLMs) becoming increasingly prevalent in daily life, so too has the tendency to attribute to them human-like minds and emotions, or anthropomorphize them. Here, we investigate dimensions people use to anthropomorphize and attribute trust toward LLMs across more than 2,000 human-LLM interactions. Participants (N=115) engaged with LLM chatbots systematically varied in warmth (friendliness), competence (capability, cohe...

Modeling of ASD/TD Children's Behaviors in Interaction with a Virtual Social Robot During a Music Education Program Using Deep Neural Networks

arXiv:2604.15314v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This research aimed to develop an intelligent system to evaluate performance and extract behavioral models for children with ASD and neurotypical (TD) children by interacting with a virtual social robot in a music education program using deep neural networks. The system has two main features: 1) it distinguishes between neurotypical children and those with ASD based on their behavior, and 2) generates behaviors resembling those of neurotypical ...
