OpenAI Acquires Ona: Supporting Codex Agents to Operate Persistently Beyond a Single Device

Crypto news, OpenAI announces that it has reached an agreement to acquire Ona (formerly Gitpod), a cloud development environment and intelligent agent sandbox platform.
After the transaction is completed, the Ona team will be integrated into OpenAI's Codex team.
As the technical core of this acquisition, Ona's secure cloud execution and orchestration technology will provide Codex intelligent agents with persistent, customer-controlled cloud environments.
Even when the user device is turned off or offline, intelligent agents can continue running tasks for hours or days.
Currently, Codex has 5 million active users weekly, a 400% increase compared to the beginning of this year.
Ona has helped over 2 million developers migrate their software development workflows from local to cloud.
In subsequent deployments, enterprise users will be able to fully control the specific environment, access permissions, credential scope, and log monitoring of the intelligent agents, thereby safely and compliantly bringing Codex intelligent agents into production environments.
This acquisition still requires regulatory approval, and before the official closing, both companies will operate independently.

2 million developers have already moved to the cloud; are the remaining ones still struggling locally?

Cloud sandbox + offline persistent operation equals giving AI a 24-hour non-stop workstation.

Gitpod renamed itself to Ona and was then acquired by OpenAI—who wrote this script?

Codex weekly activity has reached 5 million? That growth rate is a bit outrageous.
