Axios says OpenAI will acquire Pierre Computer and fold Code Storage into Codex

According to Axios, OpenAI plans to acquire developer-tools startup Pierre Computer for an undisclosed amount. Pierre’s technology is already embedded in Codex, and OpenAI intends to integrate Pierre’s Code Storage feature directly into Codex. Axios said Pierre’s open-source projects will remain open source after the deal. The report frames the move as part of a broader race with Microsoft-owned GitHub as AI agents take on more of the software-development workload.
