In May 2026, Warp open-sourced its terminal application under the AGPL-3.0 licence, with OpenAI as the founding sponsor of the open-source effort. The project had launched in April 2022 as a Rust-based, GPU-accelerated terminal emulator and evolved over four years into an agentic development environment before open-sourcing.
Simultaneously with the open-source release, Warp launched Oz — a cloud orchestration platform allowing teams to run up to 40 parallel autonomous coding agents triggered by external events: Slack messages, GitHub commits, Sentry error reports, or scheduled cron jobs. A Sentry alert could automatically trigger an Oz agent to investigate the error, propose a fix, and open a draft PR — all without any human initiating the process.
Oz represented a new deployment pattern for coding agents: not interactive tools that developers chatted with, but background workers responding to engineering events. Warp reported revenue growing at $1 million ARR every 10 days at the time of the open-source announcement, driven primarily by Oz adoption. The open-source release, backed by OpenAI as founding sponsor, signalled a broader shift toward community-governed agentic development infrastructure.
