Meta buys Conductor; cloud shuts Nov 20
Meta acquired Conductor, the multi-agent coding workspace. Conductor Cloud shuts down on November 20; the local Mac app keeps updates into early 2027.

What changed
Meta acquired Conductor, a startup that lets developers run multiple coding agents in parallel, isolated workspaces. Founder Charlie Holtz announced the deal; Meta confirmed it to TechCrunch without disclosing terms. The purchase landed the same day OpenAI moved to acquire Pierre for Codex Git tooling.
Shutdown timeline
- Nov 4: no new sign-ups; existing pro features free for current users.
- Nov 13: Conductor Cloud goes read-only.
- Nov 20: cloud shuts down and user cloud data deletion begins.
- Local Mac app: new models and critical fixes until early 2027.
Why it matters
Conductor orchestrates third-party agents from labs such as Anthropic and OpenAI rather than shipping its own model. Meta gains talent and product craft for its Muse Code push, while customers must export cloud workspaces before November 20.
