OpenAI to Acquire Pierre for Code Storage and Git Tools, Keeping Open-Source Projects Available

Summary
OpenAI said it will buy Pierre Computer Company, the maker of Code Storage and developer tools already used inside its Codex app, subject to regulatory approval and other closing conditions.
Pierre’s Trees and Diffs libraries power file browsing and code review in Codex today, and OpenAI said the deal will help adapt Git workflows to teams working alongside coding agents.
Code Storage customers will keep access after the deal closes while OpenAI folds its features into Codex, and Pierre’s open-source projects will remain open-source with continued contributions.
The acquisition follows OpenAI’s recent disclosure of Pando, its in-house source-control backend, as it pushes to make Codex a broader platform for software development in the agentic era.
