Recurring Pattern
Traffic spikes follow the same yearly rhythm
The overload mirrors patterns seen in earlier NeurIPS cycles when reviews roll out in batches, though the added presence of scripted agents appears to intensify the load this time.
Open Question
No word yet on fixes or next steps
Neither NeurIPS organizers nor OpenReview have issued updates on mitigation, leaving authors to manage expectations while the review period continues.
Sentiment
Positive users express gratitude toward researchers sharing early NeurIPS 2026 review appearances on OpenReview because it offers timely visibility into the conference process.
