OpenAI Plans to Acquire Pierre Computer, Integrating Code Storage into Codex
Axios reports that OpenAI will acquire the developer tools company Pierre Computer and integrate its Code Storage product into Codex. Code Storage is a Git-based distributed storage system that offers TypeScript, Python, and Go SDKs, supports syncing with GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket, and counts Lovable, Bolt, Amp, and others among its users. Pierre's open-source projects will remain open source after the acquisition, a move seen as a challenge to GitHub.
