OpenAI to Bring Pierre Computer’s Code Storage to Codex Through Acquisition

OpenAI plans to buy Pierre Computer Co., the company behind the code management system Code Storage and other open-source tools for developers.

The Pierre Computer deal would improve Codex, OpenAI’s agentic artificial-intelligence coding tool, the AI lab said.

“With the Pierre team, we wish to set the standard for modern software development: from the first branch an agent creates to that magic moment when code is deployed to the world,” OpenAI said Wednesday.

“We want to make Codex the place where developers and agents take on their most ambitious projects,” it added.

Financial terms of the deal weren’t disclosed. The acquisition is subject to regulatory approvals.

OpenAI said Pierre’s open-source projects would remain freely available, and Code Storage customers would be able to use the tool post-acquisition while it is integrated into Codex.
