OpenAI Acquires Python Tooling Team Codex

OpenAI just acquired the Python tooling team. Astral (Ruff, uv, ty) → now part of Codex. The numbers that got them acquired: - Hundreds of millions of downloads/month - Ruff became the default Python linter - uv replaced pip for most devs The tools stay open source. But they're now building at "the frontier of AI and software." When the best dev tools company joins the best AI company, something's shifting. The IDE wars are over. The agent wars just started. #Python #OpenAI #Codex #DevTools #AI
