OpenAI plans to acquire Pierre Computer Company to extend Codex coding tools

OpenAI to acquire Pierre Computer Company, Inc.

OpenAI announced plans to acquire Pierre Computer Company to extend the tools Codex uses to build, understand and review code. Codex already uses Pierre's Trees and Diffs libraries. OpenAI plans to fold Code Storage features into Codex while continuing to maintain Pierre's open-source projects and supporting customers who use Code Storage.

Why it matters: OpenAI would bring code storage into Codex while keeping Pierre's open-source projects and existing service running.
