v1.8.0
AlphaCouncil now has a standalone, mouse-enabled terminal client. Start with language, ticker and research question, then choose a model connection, full/quick settings and method seats. Completed evidence, method statements, individual debate rounds, questions/answers, reports and sources open as saved, scrollable content.
Download the archive for your machine, extract the complete archive and keep its launcher, runtime/ and app/ together:
| Platform | Archive | Start inside the extracted folder |
|---|---|---|
| macOS Apple Silicon | alphacouncil-terminal-1.8.0-darwin-arm64.tar.gz |
./alphacouncil |
| Linux x64 | alphacouncil-terminal-1.8.0-linux-x64.tar.gz |
./alphacouncil |

.\alphacouncil.cmd |
Node and the official Codex runtime are included. No separate Node/npm/Codex installation is needed for these archives. Original npm and host/plugin installations retain the existing MCP command. Each archive has a SHA-256 file and build metadata.
- 12 interface and research languages: Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French, German, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Vietnamese and Indonesian. Source quotations and machine IDs remain unchanged.
- Official Codex / ChatGPT sign-in; Anthropic, OpenAI and compatible API keys. API model/tool access is checked; Codex checks official login state. Missing API web search is disclosed before research starts. API usage has explicit request/output-token limits; these are not dollar limits.
- Independent runners continue when the interface closes. History and
attachreopen the same run. Explicit stopping preserves the resulting state and artifacts. - System credential storage where available, or session-only keys. The 26 provisional method packs and existing evidence, rating, language and one-use selection gates remain in force.
Validation: 1,684 local source tests, 36 terminal tests, the source/Work compatibility matrix, development fuzzing, and native archive tests on all three platforms. Native startup checks use an empty PATH and repeat after relocation to a directory with spaces. A real macOS PTY flow, actual Keychain save/read/delete, and one small real Codex JSON-marker call also passed.
The archives are unsigned. Full live stock research and real API-account acceptance for Anthropic/OpenAI/compatible providers were not performed for this terminal release; a passing interface/build test does not establish those results. See terminal setup and authentication and changes.
