OpenAI is acquiring Astral, a startup that builds Python developer tools, in a deal announced March 19 that will integrate Astral's team into OpenAI's Codex project. The acquisition reinforces OpenAI's push into coding and developer tooling and may accelerate improvements to Codex and Python support, but the deal appears small and unlikely to move public markets materially.
