OpenAI announced it will acquire Pierre Computer Company, the company behind Code Storage and open-source tools such as Trees and Diffs, already integrated into the Codex app.
What was announced
The announcement was made on November 4, 2026. The goal is to expand Codex capabilities for building, understanding, and reviewing code, adapting Git workflows to the era of coding agents.
Pierre's open-source projects will remain open-source, and customers will be able to continue using Code Storage after closing while features are integrated into Codex.
Context
The acquisition is subject to customary conditions, including regulatory approvals. Until then, the companies remain independent. This comes amid the growth of AI agent use in software development, increasing demand for storage and versioning infrastructure.
