It’s unclear if the article is talking about a hosted service or something ‘self hostable’. > Employees working on it have considered making the code repository available for purchase to OpenAI's customer base. This makes it sound like the ‘product’ is a self hostable git web interface/forge(like Gitea, ForgeJo etc), which would be interesting.

I hate how it doesn’t even mention git in the article. That being said, they have a boatload of money. It would be so much h quicker to acquire someone like Gitlab and slap an OpenAI theme on it.

Great stuff. My local coyotes are also offering chicken coop services free of charge.
