Astral to join OpenAI

Astral has entered into an agreement to join OpenAI as part of the Codex team.

I hope the Astral team got a decent payday. They deserve it.

But I also can’t think of very many alternatives to OpenAI that could have been worse for the community. Perhaps most Microsoft or Broadcom.
