OpenAI said Wednesday it will acquire Pierre Computer Company, Inc., the startup behind Code Storage and a set of open-source developer tools already used inside OpenAI’s Codex app².

Pierre’s X account posted a video announcement the same day without listing terms in the post text¹.

OpenAI said that if users have browsed files or reviewed a change in Codex, they have already used Pierre’s Trees and Diffs libraries².

The company said it wants to adapt Git workflows for teams working with coding agents and to make Codex a place where developers and agents take on larger projects².

OpenAI pointed to Pierre products including Diffs’ Edit mode, which lets a reviewer change a line in place, and Highlights, described as a fast syntax highlighter that updates as a developer types or an agent streams code².

The same team designed the API for Code Storage, which OpenAI described as a service that lets apps store code and track history using Git².

OpenAI said Pierre’s open-source projects will remain open source and that it will keep contributing to them². Customers can continue using Code Storage after the deal closes while OpenAI works to bring those features into Codex, the company said².

Neither OpenAI’s post nor Pierre’s X announcement disclosed a purchase price^1,2. OpenAI said closing is subject to customary conditions, including regulatory approvals, and that the two companies will remain separate until then².
