Tech aiagentsdevopsterminal Read original

Warp terminal has gone open-source with OpenAI funding and repositioned itself as an agentic development environment where AI agents autonomously triage issues, write code, and review pull requests.

What: Warp is now an open-source terminal-based development environment that integrates AI coding agents powered by GPT models, with support for third-party agents like Claude Code and Gemini CLI. The platform includes a dashboard at build.warp.dev where developers can watch "Oz agents" automatically handle issue triage, spec writing, implementation, and code review across thousands of active sessions.
Why it matters: This marks a major pivot from Warp's original positioning as a modern terminal emulator to a full AI-powered development platform, with OpenAI's founding sponsorship signaling serious industry investment in autonomous coding workflows that could reshape how development teams operate.
Takeaway: Explore build.warp.dev to watch agent-driven development sessions in real-time, or download Warp to test integrating AI agents into your own terminal workflow.

Original article

OpenAI is the founding sponsor of the new, open-source Warp repository, and the new agentic management workflows are powered by GPT models.

About

Warp is an agentic development environment, born out of the terminal. Use Warp's built-in coding agent, or bring your own CLI agent (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and others).

Installation

You can download Warp and read our docs for platform-specific instructions.

Warp Contributions Overview Dashboard

Explore build.warp.dev to:

  • Watch thousands of Oz agents triage issues, write specs, implement changes, and review PRs
  • View top contributors and in-flight features
  • Track your own issues with GitHub sign-in
  • Click into active agent sessions in a web-compiled Warp terminal

Licensing

Warp's UI framework (the warpui_core and warpui crates) are licensed under the MIT license.

The rest of the code in this repository is licensed under the AGPL v3.

Open Source & Contributing

Warp's client codebase is open source and lives in this repository. We welcome community contributions and have designed a lightweight workflow to help new contributors get started. For the full contribution flow, read our CONTRIBUTING.md guide.

Chat with contributors and the Warp team in the #oss-contributors Slack channel — a good place for ad-hoc questions, design discussion, and pairing with maintainers. New here? Join the Warp Slack community first, then jump into #oss-contributors.

Issue to PR

Before filing, search existing issues for your bug or feature request. If nothing exists, file an issue using our templates. Security vulnerabilities should be reported privately as described in CONTRIBUTING.md.

Once filed, a Warp maintainer reviews the issue and may apply a readiness label: ready-to-spec signals the design is open for contributors to spec out, and ready-to-implement signals the design is settled and code PRs are welcome. Anyone can pick up a labeled issue — mention @oss-maintainers on an issue if you'd like it considered for a readiness label.

Building the Repo Locally

To build and run Warp from source:

./script/bootstrap   # platform-specific setup
./script/run         # build and run Warp
./script/presubmit   # fmt, clippy, and tests

See WARP.md for the full engineering guide, including coding style, testing, and platform-specific notes.
