OpenAI Agrees to Buy Software Startup Pierre to Bolster Codex

What happened: OpenAI said on Wednesday it agreed to buy Pierre Computer Company, a three-year-old startup that builds tools to help developers manage and review code. Why it matters: OpenAI's coding agent Codex already uses Pierre's open-source developer tools, including Code Storage, tying the acquisition to Codex's existing stack.
