Summary
According to a post on X by @bentossell, which had about 580 likes, the poster called it "holy acquisition day" and listed three deals: humanlayer going to Factory, Conductor going to Meta, and Pierre going to OpenAI. A comment from @SaaiArora in the same feed said Conductor's team is joining Meta and that Conductor Cloud is shutting down. That commenter also pointed users to an alternative cloud agent that works with Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode. The source is social posts rather than a formal announcement, so these deal details are not confirmed by the companies here.

Look for official confirmation from the companies involved and any timeline for the Conductor Cloud shutdown.
