Our Take

Onyx is the move for teams that want all the AI bells and whistles without handing their data over to OpenAI or Anthropic. It's an open-source platform that wraps LLMs with RAG, agents, web search, code execution, deep research, and MCP integration - basically everything you'd get from a managed AI product but fully self-hostable with 23.5k GitHub stars backing its credibility. The fact that it plays nice with both self-hosted models like Ollama and proprietary APIs gives it flexibility that enterprises actually care about, and the enterprise features (SSO, RBAC, analytics) mean it's not just for hackers in basements. If your team needs AIinfra under your own roof, this is the dark horse worth watching.

Onyx is the application layer for LLMs - bringing a feature-rich interface that can be easily hosted by anyone. It enables LLMs through advanced capabilities like RAG, web search, code execution, file creation, deep research and more.
