Release notes

Add Qwen, Gemini, and the rest

0.2.0-beta.86 · September 26, 2026

Settings → Models can add Qwen, Gemini, DeepSeek, Mistral, GLM, Kimi, or any other OpenAI-compatible provider. Each workspace keeps its own terminal. A long command stays visible until it finishes.

New

  • Add a provider from Settings → Models. Qwen, Gemini, DeepSeek, Mistral, GLM, and Kimi are listed first, and a provider with more than one region asks which one. Anything else that speaks the OpenAI API can be added with its own URL. Test the connection before you save. The key stays in ~/.vortex/provider-keys.json. Model lists and prices come from models.dev and stay usable offline. The picker can filter by provider. Docs: Models.
  • vortex run and vortex review accept that provider. --base-url is used when it is not already saved. The key can also come from the provider's own environment variable, such as GEMINI_API_KEY. Docs: Headless CLI.

Fixed

  • Each workspace remembers the terminal tab you were using. Switching workspaces does not show another workspace's terminal, and a renamed tab title stays.
  • A foreground command that outlives its block window stays in the live status until it finishes.
  • A spend under one cent shows as less than $0.01.
  • When a provider reports a smaller context window, later runs of that model in this session use the smaller window.
  • An OpenAI model that rejects tools together with a reasoning effort is sent through the Responses API, so the tools still run.

You describe the work. Vortex plans, edits, verifies, and ships inside your workspace. The editor, terminal, diffs, and browser are how you watch and steer — not where you are expected to write the solution.
