Figures are as stated by the companies, in US dollars. A deal can change or fall through before it closes.
OpenAI announced on November 4, 2026 that it will acquire Pierre Computer Company, a San Francisco developer-tools startup. Pierre makes Code.Storage, an infrastructure layer for Git, and the Trees and Diffs libraries that already appear in OpenAI's Codex app.
The announcement says the deal is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. We found no purchase price or other financial terms in the details available to us.
What stands out is what the announcement says about people already using the product. Code.Storage customers can keep using it until OpenAI brings its features into Codex, and Pierre's open-source projects will stay open.
