Onyx Terminal Update
hey. big drop today. onyx is now a real terminal app.
you can just install It and run instead of trying to put this into vs code.
WHAT IS NEW:
• one-command install on windows / mac / linux
• first-run wizard walks you through your API key
no config files
• four provider slots now:
─ anthropic (claude direct)
─ openrouter (one key, everything)
─ openai (gpt-5.6 sol / luna / terra,
gpt-4o, o1)
─ custom (deepseek, xai/grok, groq,
mistral, ollama, azure...
any OpenAI-compatible
endpoint — bring your key)
• gpt-5.6 family at the top of /model picker
• /jailbreak now targets gpt-5.6-sol-pro out of the
box
• your provider choice persists across launches
• state lives in ~/.onyx/ — safe to move, back up,
or wipe
