Came across an interesting piece of AI infrastructure news: OpenAI is going to buy Pierre Computer.
The official announcement says it will acquire the company behind Code Storage. The Trees / Diffs you use to browse files and review diffs in Codex are built on their open-source libraries. After the deal closes, they plan to integrate Code Storage’s capabilities into Codex—bringing code repositories, branches, and reviews closer to a workflow where “people and coding agents work together.” The open-source projects will remain open source; existing customers can keep using the product after the deal closes, with a gradual migration to follow.
The price wasn’t disclosed, the deal still needs regulatory approval, and both companies will continue operating independently until it closes. Axios sees this as a move targeting Microsoft’s GitHub; Cursor (now part of SpaceX) also launched a rival product, Origin, in August. As AI gets better and better at writing code, the race to control source code hosting is heating up. #OpenAI #AI
