OpenAI acquires Pierre Computer Company to make Git keep up with AI coding agents
OpenAI is buying startup Pierre Computer Company, which develops Code Storage and several open-source tools; its libraries already power OpenAI's coding agent Codex.
OpenAI says it wants Git workflows to work better when developers and AI agents write code together; it also runs Pando, its own version-control backend built for both. Pierre's tools include Trees for fast project-file navigation, Diffs for viewing changes and fixing bugs in the diff view, and Highlights for real-time syntax highlighting; Code Storage stores code and tracks its history through Git. Pierre's open-source projects will remain open source, and the deal still requires regulatory approval.
