Astral will keep supporting its open-source projects
The Astral crew will join forces with the Codex team, but keep supporting their open-source projects.
As Codex lead Thibault Sottiaux put it, Astral's tools already help millions of Python developers improve their workflow.
Astral CEO Charlie Marsh also reassured everyone they're sticking with open source.
This move means better, faster AI tools for many Python developers, making daily tasks smoother and boosting productivity.
Announced on March 19, 2026, it's a step toward broader adoption of smart coding assistants among developers.
