Odoo collected data to map out what makes their most successful partners. Based on their findings, the fastest-growing Odoo Partners prioritise deploying a fast initial product to deliver immediate results. Top partners also have experts with deep industry knowledge, consistently challenge their clients, and collaborate closely with Odoo's internal teams.

Odoo France to open dedicated Lyon office on June 1st 2026

 Odoo is officially opening a new office in Lyon on June 1. To meet high market expectations and prepare for French e-invoicing mandates arriving in September 2026, the company plans to recruit 80 new local employees by the end of the year.

US price increase yields positive results despite initial backlash

Although it caused a stir in the community, Odoo’s recent 30% price increase for the US custom plan had no negative impact on customer conversion rates. Odoo reports that the strategic change successfully improved its mid-market positioning while claiming it remains the best value for money in the region.

Community talk

All the hot topics and discussions Odoo users are buzzing about this month. 

Odoo leads AI model training with its open-source code, but at what cost?

Odoo CEO Fabien Pinckaers shared on LinkedIn that 2% of all open-source code in Python is Odoo-related.  

He described this as an unfair advantage in the AI ERP race, as LLMs are already being well-trained on Odoo’s data.

Many users agreed that this representation in AI training data gives Odoo a serious edge. Odoo experts noted that AI models already understand Odoo's architecture and logic. 

One user even shared that their connector integration almost wrote itself as the AI already knew Odoo’s underlying structures. 

However, several commenters also raised concerns about the quality of that training data. They pointed out that a high volume of code does not guarantee high quality.

Since AI models can still provide bad development advice based on outdated code, developers must carefully supervise the output.

Others warned that making AI development this easy could backfire on Odoo's strategy.  One user noted it risks "fragmenting the business model" if developers use AI to create custom Odoo-based solutions and "only ping Odoo core when they absolutely have to". 

This could allow companies to easily bypass the paid Enterprise version entirely. This could threaten the integrated ERP philosophy that Odoo is built on – but always at the cost of a secure system.

News from the ERP world 

Headlines from the ERP world you shouldn’t miss.

SAP acquires data integration specialist Reltio to strengthen agentic AI 

SAP has announced it will acquire Reltio, a cloud-native data management specialist, to strengthen its Business Data Cloud and agentic AI capabilities.

The move will allow SAP to finally sync and clean data from platforms like Salesforce, Oracle, and Microsoft. 

Currently, if a customer or supplier has data records across different systems, SAP’s AI  Joule cannot access them due to a lack of cross-platform context. 

The acquisition targets one of SAP’s major challenges for agentic AI: most enterprises have data scattered across dozens of different apps like Salesforce or Oracle. 

Reltio’s platform uses AI to automatically scan these fragmented systems, match related files, and merge them into a single master data record within SAP.

The acquisition is a clear bid to fix the low adoption of SAP’s data platform. If SAP can prove its AI can reliably navigate a complex multi-vendor environment, it removes a massive barrier for customers still hesitant to move to the cloud.

Anthropic accidentally leaks its own Claude Code source code

In a major oversight, Anthropic accidentally shared the full source code for its Claude Code CLI tool via its official npm registry.

The leak occurred when version 2.1.88 was published with an unobfuscated source map file, revealing over 512,000 lines of TypeScript across 1,900 files. 

Although Anthropic quickly pulled the package, the code had already been mirrored on GitHub, with one repository gaining over 30,000 stars in a few hours.

The exposed data includes the core engine for LLM API calls, Thinking Mode logic, and internal regex filters used to detect user sentiment. 

While the leak doesn't compromise Anthropic’s underlying AI models or user data, it gives competitors and researchers a transparent look at the tool's inner workings.

Developers are being warned that, although it was leaked and is available on GitHub, the code is not open-source. 

Redistributing or using the leaked logic in other projects remains a direct violation of Anthropic’s licence and may risk legal action.
