Today, AI is rapidly changing the way we build software, and the pace of that change is only accelerating. If our goal is to make programming more productive, then building at the frontier of AI and software feels like the highest-leverage thing we can do.
It is increasingly clear to me that Codex is that frontier. And by bringing Astral’s tooling and expertise to OpenAI, we’re putting ourselves in a position to push it forward. After joining the Codex team, we’ll continue building our open source tools, explore ways they can work more seamlessly with Codex, and expand our reach to think more broadly about the future of software development.

The ensloppening of some of my favorite tools begins?
FFS, first Bun, now Astral… It’s a shame, uv is such a useful tool in the Python ecosystem.
I find that Python requires a fair bit of discipline to keep it readable, and I’ve seen some very unreadable code written by people. Vibe coding with Python’s dynamic nature seems like a match made in hell.
This is true although that’s what enforcing strict type checking and good linting is supposed to help with. I think it’s partially an issue that you can kinda just type what you think and not everyone thinks efficiently/ programmer-y
Edited for clarity
Count down to forks in 3… 2… 1…
But which form will survive ?
I want tools from the python foundation ! (I kinda hoped ruff and UV were taken over by the pypa)
You can fork today. It’ll work forever.
Forever? When every new python version breaks compatibility with the previous?
They’re compiled rust programs.
Yes but the language ecosystem is a moving target
