No, but maybe if your widely adopted, poorly supported open source project uses Ellipsis for code reviews we may be able to catch that type of hack ;)

How could an open source project afford the $20/user/month license fee?

We offer Ellipsis to large open source projects for free. Email us team@ellipsis.dev

I was referencing the recent xz backdoor hack.

Anything similar for hobbyist or student projects?

Hmm... probably, send me an email.

I have my doubts.

"This PR appears to add some kind of autotools gibberish to the codebase. Since autotools needs to be regularly fed gibberish in order to continue to live, this is normal and expected. However please note that some gibberish may be malicious.

As an AI code review model, I am unable to advise on whether this autotools gibberish is malicious or not. Human review will be required."

Totally fair - there's a saturation right now of magic AI dev tools. We try to differentiate by not over promising/under delivering and by solving a problem that's closely matched to what today's state of the art LLM's can handle: code review.

But the only really way to figure out if it's useful for your team is to try it. That's why we added a free trial.
