Khy OS — AI platform operating system with an extensible default app runtime

Project description

Khy OS

Khy OS is an AI platform CLI and runtime. The default built-in app is khyquant.

Positioning

  • khy is the primary Khy OS command (platform shell + app runtime).
  • khyquant is the default upper-layer app/plugin compatibility command.
  • AI lite mode is explicit: use khy ai ... (or khy --lite ...).

Release Notes (0.1.3)

This release focuses on vision/multimodal adapter compatibility and packaging consistency.

Highlights

  • Unified image normalization for gateway adapters:
    • added shared image compatibility layer for base64/data-url/url payloads
    • mapped unified image input to adapter-specific formats (Codex/Claude/Ollama/OpenAI-compatible IDE adapters)
  • Removed forced image routing to Claude by default:
    • image requests now keep the selected adapter first
    • gateway fallback remains enabled when a channel actually fails
  • Improved local/IDE multimodal behavior:
    • Codex direct mode accepts normalized images
    • Ollama adapter accepts normalized image payloads for multimodal models
    • Trae/Windsurf adapters accept OpenAI-compatible vision message blocks
  • Packaging/release consistency:
    • synchronized package version metadata for khy-os==0.1.3
    • fixed release path to avoid mixed/legacy install metadata

Upgrade

python3 -m pip install -U khy-os==0.1.3
khy --version

Release Notes (0.1.2)

This release focuses on production stability, multi-adapter robustness, and clearer operator experience.

Highlights

  • Improved AI request stability for long-running tasks:
    • task-scale-aware retry/timeout strategy
    • transient error recovery across gateway and tool loop layers
    • safer adapter failover behavior when preferred channels are unstable
  • Better context-window safety:
    • dynamic context budget handling
    • stronger compaction path for oversized histories
  • Better terminal UX:
    • improved status signaling and de-duplication
    • stronger recovery for interactive input states
  • Packaging/version sync:
    • synchronized version bump across Python + Node entry metadata
  • release artifacts generated for khy-os==0.1.2

Upgrade

python3 -m pip install -U khy-os==0.1.2
khy --version

Compatibility

  • Python: >=3.8
  • Node.js: >=18
  • OS: Linux / macOS / Windows

Quick Start

python3 -m pip install -U khy-os
khy --help
khy doctor
khy app list

Development install:

python3 -m pip install -e .

Core Commands

khy app list
khy gateway status
khy linux status
khy server start

Explicit AI Lite Mode

khy ai "summarize this project status"
khy ai -p "only output JSON"
khy ai run qwen3.5:4b "hello"

# compatibility alias (kept for older scripts)
khy run qwen3.5:4b "hello"

OS Build Entry

bash scripts/build-khy-os.sh

Windows (Docker Desktop + PowerShell):

khy iso build --output dist/khy-os.iso
# equivalent source script:
# powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File scripts/alpine/build-iso-windows.ps1

Component mode:

bash scripts/build-khy-os.sh --component core --component vmware-plan
bash scripts/build-khy-os.sh --component moonbit --strict

WASM App Runtime

khy app register math --runtime wasm --wasm /abs/path/math.wasm --abi numeric-v1 --export add
khy app run math add 1 2

khy app register echo --runtime wasm --wasm /abs/path/echo.wasm --abi string-v2 --export run
khy app exports echo
khy app run echo hello khy os

khy app register score --runtime wasm --wasm /abs/path/score.wasm --abi json-v2 --export run
khy app run score --json '{"symbol":"AAPL","price":192.3,"rsi":63.2}'

# M1 IPC simulation (loopback netd/fsd/wmd)
khy app register weather --runtime wasm --wasm /abs/path/weather.wasm --abi json-v2 --export run --caps ipc,net
khy app ipc weather net http_get --json '{"city":"shanghai"}'

Required Environment

  • Python >= 3.8
  • Node.js >= 18
  • Linux/macOS/Windows

Pip Distribution Boundary

  • Prebuilt ISO/model artifacts are intentionally excluded from pip packages.
  • You can build ISO locally after installation (khy iso build ...).
  • You can download and register models on demand:
khy models pull qwen3.5:4b
khy models list
khy gateway model

  • docs/architecture/CORE_ARCHITECTURE.md
  • docs/guides/ENV_REQUIREMENTS.md
