Evidence for 2026-09-07

GitHub has left pull requests open to anyone by default for 18 years, and a set of AI-native projects, meaning projects built from the start around AI tools, including Flue and tldraw, have now shut that door because the changes arriving through it are often machine-written Latent Space.

One conference speaker called GitHub an archive of low-quality pull requests, and GitHub itself added a switch to block outside contributions, which looks like maintainers defending their time against spam AI Engineer.

The projects refusing outside changes are not going quiet; they run their own team of agents to sort reports, reproduce bugs, write the fix, review it, and hand the result to a person for the merge, a pattern Latent Space labels the software factory Latent Space.

Its cloud agents no longer stop at opening a change; they stay attached until it merges, mending broken automated test runs (CI) and answering review bots along the way, and they can idle on a Slack thread and start work when something in it changes Cursor Blog.

Uber says more than 70 percent of its pull requests now pass through local or cloud agents AI Engineer.

SGLang's latest release folded in 786 pull requests from 214 contributors, up from 574 and 169 in July, though the supplied release notes give contribution counts, not a review policy SGLang Releases, SGLang Releases.

The Zig language went the other way and banned AI from pull requests and issues outright to protect how new contributors learn AI Engineer.

For a business leader, the headline from inside OpenAI, where a trio of engineers ran a five-month internal build that produced on the order of 1,500 pull requests and a million lines of code without a human writing any of it, says nothing about the hours spent approving that output Nate Jones.

Under the hood there is one model; what differs is the safeguard profile, with Mythos 5.1 unlocked for cybersecurity and life-sciences work, and only Fable 5.1 is generally available while Mythos 5.1 stays inside trusted access programs Anthropic News.

That settles a debate that began in June, when AI Explained argued Fable 5 and Mythos 5 shared one set of weights and community analysis later suggested the same of the 5.1 pair AI Explained, Latent Space.

Uber's 70 percent figure and OpenAI's research acceleration claim are self-reported by those companies, and the supplied evidence contains no numbers behind OpenAI's stated early data OpenAI News.

Cursor's pull request and Slack subscriptions were limited to cloud agents as of its August 19 changelog, so the review-loop pattern in the lead is a vendor feature, not an audited outcome Cursor Blog.
