OpenAI to acquire backend agent platform Ona

According to an announcement on OpenAI’s official website, OpenAI has announced its acquisition of Ona, a security-focused cloud execution and orchestration technology company, to expand its Codex ecosystem. Codex currently boasts over 5 million weekly active users—a 400% increase since the beginning of the year. Ona previously served 2 million developers; its customer-controlled execution model enables AI agents to run continuously within an organization’s own cloud environment, meeting enterprise requirements for security, governance, and compliance. Following the acquisition, the Ona team will join OpenAI to help extend Codex into more enterprise-grade production workflows.
