Meta has acquired Conductor, an artificial intelligence coding startup, according to a report by Axios. Conductor has confirmed that it is joining Meta in a post on its website.

What Conductor's software does

Conductor's software allows a developer to run several coding agents at the same time. Each agent works in an isolated copy of the codebase, so the agents can operate on different aspects of a project in parallel without interfering with one another.

The startup's approach lets software engineers deploy teams of agents to work on various parts of a project simultaneously.

Deal confirmed by the startup

The acquisition was first reported by Axios. Conductor has confirmed it is joining Meta, stating so in a post on its website. The information available so far comes from that report and the startup's own announcement, and the reporting covering the matter cites the same sources.
