# Onyx

> Open source AI platform with RAG, deep research, custom agents, and 50+ connectors — deployable anywhere via Docker, Kubernetes, or cloud.

Onyx is an open source AI platform that serves as the application layer for LLMs, combining RAG, web search, code execution, deep research, and custom agents in a single self-hostable interface. It supports all major LLM providers — both self-hosted (Ollama, LiteLLM, vLLM) and proprietary (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini) — and ships with 50+ indexing connectors plus MCP support. Onyx is available in a lightweight "Lite" mode for quick testing and a full "Standard" mode for production teams, with an Enterprise Edition for larger organizations needing SSO, RBAC, and analytics.

- **Agentic RAG** — *Hybrid keyword + vector index combined with AI agents delivers best-in-class search and answer quality.*
- **Deep Research** — *Multi-step research flow generates in-depth reports; ranked at the top of the deep research leaderboard as of Feb 2026.*
- **Custom Agents** — *Build AI agents with unique instructions, knowledge bases, and external actions via MCP integrations.*
- **Web Search** — *Supports Serper, Google PSE, Brave, SearXNG, Firecrawl, Exa, and a built-in web crawler for up-to-date information.*
- **Code Execution** — *Run code in a sandbox to analyze data, render graphs, or modify files directly within the chat interface.*
- **Voice Mode** — *Chat via text-to-speech and speech-to-text for hands-free interaction.*
- **Image Generation** — *Generate images from natural language prompts inside the chat UI.*
- **Artifacts** — *Produce downloadable documents, graphics, and other file outputs from agent workflows.*
- **50+ Connectors** — *Index knowledge from Slack, Confluence, Google Drive, Notion, GitHub, and dozens more out of the box.*
- **Enterprise Features** — *SSO (Google OAuth, OIDC, SAML), SCIM provisioning, RBAC, usage analytics, query history auditing, and white-labeling.*
- **Flexible Deployment** — *Deploy with a single `curl` command; supports Docker, Kubernetes, Helm/Terraform, and major cloud providers.*
- **MIT Licensed (CE)** — *The Community Edition is freely available under the MIT license; self-host with full source access.*
