[Factory(opens in a new window)](https://www.factory.ai/), founded in 2023 by Matan Grinberg and Eno Reyes, uses OpenAI’s reasoning models to change how organizations build and maintain software.
The Factory Platform is designed to eliminate the bottlenecks in software development. With OpenAI o1, o3‑mini, and GPT‑4o embedded directly into the Platform’s workflows, Factory is building a development environment that goes beyond writing code to understanding, retrieving, and reasoning through complex systems, achieving:
* **2–4x faster**feature development cycles.
* **60% reduction**in context switching time.
* **10+ additional hours** per week per developer across the software development lifecycle.
“The flexibility of offering o1 and o3‑mini for a range of reasoning tasks has helped us win business from customers seeking a software development tool that allows seamless switching between models with varying reasoning capabilities,” says Eno Reyes, Factory’s co-founder and CTO.
## Tackling inefficiencies in software development
Software development has often been constrained by manual research, fragmented knowledge, and slow iteration cycles. Engineers don’t just write code; they spend hours understanding dependencies and verifying system accuracy.
Before OpenAI’s family of reasoning models, Factory relied on a mix of in-house solutions and traditional tooling, but they ran into key limitations:
* **Planning bottlenecks**: No automated way to structure and coordinate development steps.
* **Code editing inefficiencies**: Existing AI completions lacked the speed and accuracy needed for large-scale development.
* **Ineffective knowledge retrieval**: Standard search tools didn’t surface the right code snippets or documentation efficiently.
Factory saw an opportunity to change this by building a system where AI goes beyond suggesting code to understanding and reasoning about the entire software development process. They work closely with OpenAI to integrate cutting-edge models at every stage of the software development lifecycle.
## Optimizing the software development lifecycle with the right models
Factory has integrated OpenAI's models strategically across different stages of the software development lifecycle, selecting specific models based on their reasoning capabilities, speed, and accuracy requirements f
