OpenAI is developing an internal code-hosting platform after repeated GitHub outages disrupted engineering teams. The project is months from completion but employees have discussed commercializing it. A repository integrated with OpenAI's coding agents could let developers collaborate with autonomous AI systems — directly challenging Microsoft (OpenAI's largest investor and GitHub's owner).

Six clients. One manifest. Zero vendor lock. Vercel published Agent Plugins 1.0.0 on August 6, an openly licensed spec that bundles Agent Skills and MCP servers behind a single portable manifest. The shape is deliberately boring: a plugin.json requiring only schemaVersion and...
