  Welcome to OpenAI! Very excited to be working together and to make great tools to make developers everywhere more productive.

• @charliermarsh Charlie Marsh on x

  We've entered into an agreement to join OpenAI as part of the Codex team. I'm incredibly proud of the work we've done so far, incredibly grateful to everyone that's supported us, and incredibly excited to keep building tools that make programming feel different.

  We've reached an agreement to acquire Astral. After we close, OpenAI plans for @astral_sh to join our Codex team, with a continued focus on building great tools and advancing the shared mission of making developers more productive. https://openai.com/...

  OpenAI acquires developer tooling startup Astral in boost for Codex team. Astral is famous for creating high-speed Python tools like uv and Ruff that help developers manage their code libraries and find errors. They also make a tool called ty that helps programmers ensure their […

  UNBELIEVABLY excited about the Astral team joining OpenAI! We've long looked up to the work that @charliermarsh and his incredible team has done with ruff, uv, ty - can't believe we'll get to work together!

• @fujikanaeda Eric W. Tramel on x

  if you own an entire software ecosystem distribution channel, it means that you own the means for shipping novel codelang forks. recent moves from oai & ant here for uv & bun are incredible vertical unlocks to language+ai codesign.

• @trekedge Daniel Steigman on x

  Astral made using Python fun and easy. Their ability to write high performance Rust tooling will be a huge asset to the Codex team!

• @banteg @banteg on x

  astral literally saved python

• @hanchunglee Han on x

  agi will be built on python.

• @chrisalbon Chris Albon on x

  codex run python

• @svpino @svpino on x

  Shit. What will happen to ‘uv’ now that [Open]AI owns it?

• @hsvsphere @hsvsphere on x

  No promise to not change uv/etc to suit OpenAI's sloppy requests. It may be over, hope it isn't. Confirms my suspicion about the Deno acquisition too, they want both runtimes/ecosystems.

  The hottest new language in 2026 is C99

  i expect native linting at llm write time soon. ruff is incredibly powerful

• @himanshustwts Himanshu on x

  > Anthropic acquired Bun > OpenAI acquired Astral crazy speedrun for devtools. what next?

• @charliermarsh Charlie Marsh on x

  After the deal closes, OpenAI will continue supporting our open source tools, and we'll keep building in the open — for the Python ecosystem — just as we have from the start.

• @theahmadosman Ahmad on x

  you can see how OpenAI is building around Python + UV while Anthropic is building around TS + Bun

• @ivanfioravanti Ivan Fioravanti on x

  My beloved uv, AI companies are eating and polarizing everything. I don't know if this is good or bad in the long run, time will tell.

  What is the competitive advantage of owning ‘uv’?  I simply do not get it. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

• @timonsku.zip Timon on bluesky

  And another reason why Python packaging needs to gets fixed upstream.  You can't have the languages package management be treated as a thing to be implemented by third parties.  —  Please CPython, finally learn from node and Rust on how to do this properly.  —  astral.sh/blog/ope…

• @ramon-astudillo Ramon Astudillo on bluesky

  Astral's original business model was to sell a safe version of the pip python package repo.  Is this an agent supply chain security play?  —  I really hope they don't screw uv  —  openai.com/index/openai...
