This release adds Model comparison: run one prompt across several of your installed models, compare their answers side by side, and keep the best one.

Downloading

If you're installing manually:

macOS

  • Apple Silicon Mac (M1 or newer): download OnyxCode-darwin-arm64.dmg (smaller, native).
  • Intel Mac, or unsure: download OnyxCode-darwin-universal.dmg (runs on both).

Open the .dmg and drag Onyx Code to /Applications/. Both macOS downloads are signed and notarized by Apple, so they pass Gatekeeper and open without security warnings.

Linux (x64)

  • Debian / Ubuntu: download OnyxCode-linux-x64.deb and install it with sudo apt install ./OnyxCode-linux-x64.deb.
  • Other distributions: download OnyxCode-linux-x64.AppImage, make it executable (chmod +x), and run it. On Ubuntu 24.04 (which lacks libfuse2) run it with --appimage-extract-and-run.

Windows (x64)

Windows support is on the way through winget (winget install OnyxCode), which will be the recommended way to install once it's published: it runs through Microsoft's App Installer (a trusted Microsoft Store app) with a package listing reviewed in Microsoft's community winget repository, so it verifies the download and gives a smoother first-run experience. winget is not available yet, so for now the only way to install on Windows is to download the attached OnyxCode-win32-x64-winget.exe and run it manually. It is not code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen warns "Windows protected your PC"; click More info, then Run anyway to continue. A code-signed installer is planned for a later release.

The *-autoupdate.zip, darwin-*.json, linux-x64.json, and win32-x64.json files are plumbing for Onyx Code's
built-in auto-updater. They are not designed for manual install and will give
you a worse first-run experience than the download above.

What's new

  • Model comparison (Pro). The new /compare command runs one prompt across 2 to 5 of your installed models, side by side. Each model runs in turn on your own machine, so it works on any hardware that can run a single model, with no extra setup. You get each model's answer along with its tokens, time, and tokens per second. Keep the best answer to apply its code, or make any model your active chat model in one click. Results stay collapsed so you can expand just the ones you want to compare, and a one-click action widens the panel for a true side-by-side view.

System requirements

  • macOS 11 (Big Sur) or later.
  • Apple Silicon (M1-M4) or Intel Mac. The Universal download runs on both.

Installing

  1. Download the DMG for your Mac (see Downloading above).
  2. Open it and drag Onyx Code into Applications.
  3. Launch it from Applications or Spotlight.

Verification

This build is signed and notarized by Apple. macOS verifies it on first launch, so it opens as an app from an identified developer without security warnings.
