According to the information, the reason for this was the frequent failures on GitHub in recent months. These problems hindered the work of OpenAI engineers.
Neowin and Reuters publications report, citing The Information, that the project is still in its early stages, but a strategic decision has already been made. According to informed sources, the development of the platform may take several months.
OpenAI is considering offering the service to users on a subscription model. Other details were not disclosed.
After several large-scale failures of GitHub, the development of an analogous platform has begun. If OpenAI launches its own code storage platform, it could enter into direct competition with one of its major shareholders, Microsoft (which owns GitHub), Reuters notes.
At the end of February 2026, OpenAI attracted $ 110 billion in investments at a pre-investment valuation of $ 730 billion: $ 30 billion from SoftBank, $ 30 billion from Nvidia and $ 50 billion from Amazon. The company also emphasized at the time that it maintained its partnership with Microsoft.
