OpenAI has hired the founders of Git AI, an open-source tool that tracks AI-generated code and measures the performance and cost of coding agents. Aidan Cunniffe and Sasha Varlamov will be joining OpenAI's Codex team to provide businesses with better data on the performance and returns generated by coding agents. OpenAI's Thibault Sottiaux confirmed that the company wants to use Git AI's technology to help businesses understand the impact of Codex.
Git AI is a Git extension that links every line of code to the agent, model, and prompts that generated it, allowing teams to see how much AI-generated code reaches production, how often it's reworked, and where time and tokens are being spent. The tool currently supports various coding agents, including OpenAI Codex, Anthropic's Claude Code, and Google's Gemini CLI.
With both founders joining OpenAI, it appears likely that the standalone Git AI business will be wound down, while the open-source project will continue.
