I wish these "acquired by" announcements started with an explanation of what the startup was in the first place.

I had never heard of them before and have no clue what they do or why OpenAI wanted to buy them.

As someone with a cat who used to be named "Vito", but eventually ended up as "Pierre", I'm going to assume "Pierre Computer" somehow makes your AI act more French. :P
