OpenAI formally announced on Thursday that it has agreed to acquire Ona, a cloud execution and orchestration startup, as part of a push to fortify the infrastructure behind its growing AI coding assistant, Codex.
Ona's platform specializes in creating secure, long‑running cloud environments where autonomous AI agents can operate independently. According to OpenAI, this capability "will expand Codex beyond work tied to a single device or active session and help more organizations deploy agents securely in production."
