OpenAI is acquiring Ona, an organization whose expertise lies in providing secure cloud execution and orchestration services for AI agents, through a deal designed to boost the capacity of its AI coding solution Codex and facilitate the implementation of autonomous AI agents across corporate entities. The acquisition comes as part of a broader strategy by OpenAI to provide more robust assistance in dealing with more elaborate, and time-consuming AI applications that require consistent access to tools, resources, and relevant context for a long period. Ona’s solution allows AI agents to operate on various tasks for hours or even days without being confined to one specific device or live user session. Upon the conclusion of the deal, Ona’s employees are expected to integrate into the team behind OpenAI’s Codex solution.
