OpenAI hires the team behind Xcode coding assistant Alex


Acqui-hires feel like they're here to stay: the team behind Alex Codes, which built a popular tool that let devs use AI models within Apple's development suite Xcode, is joining OpenAI.

Apple, however, earlier this year updated XCode to let users tap ChatGPT and other AI models without needing external tools. In a post on Alex Codes’ blog, the startup said that it would continue supporting existing users, though the app will no longer be able to be downloaded after October 1. The company noted that the team won’t add new features to the tool, but would maintain the product as long as existing users are using it.
