v0.8.0
Released 2026-08-03 · 3 min read · Omnigent maintainers
Omnigent 0.8.0 is a major release focused on making the platform smarter and more collaborative, from how you pick a model to how you bring in agents. Model choices now come live from your active providers and installed CLIs, the web workspace has been reworked into an editor-style experience, and new guardrail policies catch agents stuck in loops.
1. Live model discovery
Model lists used to be baked into each release, which meant they drifted out of date the moment a provider shipped something new. Now the choices come straight from your active provider catalog and the CLIs you actually have installed — Kiro, Cursor, and Pi — so the models you see are the models you can run.
To keep things stable when an upstream catalog hiccups, Omnigent validates and falls back to a last-known-good catalog, so a provider outage never leaves you without options. You simply pick from the current, live list when you start or switch a session.
2. Reworked web workspace and sidebar
The web workspace now behaves like a real editor. Files and shells open as tabs, with shells docked in the rail and a full-screen toggle when you want room to work. Markdown previews render Mermaid diagrams inline, and the subagent graph is clickable and zoomable so you can trace what your agents are doing.
3. More agents and sign-ins
Omnigent 0.8.0 widens the set of agents you can bring in and how you authenticate them. You can sign in to Antigravity with Google OAuth through agy, and add agy as a Polly sub-agent. Existing OpenClaw and acpx coding agents drop into the ACP picker with omnigent run --from-openclaw, and you can launch Claude and Codex children directly in goal mode.
4. New guardrail policies
Two new policies watch for agents that get stuck. detect_loop and detect_thrashing catch an agent retrying or failing in a loop and prompt you to step in before it burns time and tokens going nowhere.
The GitHub policy also gets safer by default: destructive deletes are now blocked unless you explicitly opt in with allow_destructive: true.
5. Sharper CLI
The command line gets a round of polish. omni upgrade now preserves your installed extras and accepts --extra, --target-version, and --dry-run so you can see exactly what an upgrade will do first. omnigent --help groups and colorizes harness commands for easier scanning, and omnigent diagnose prints a secret-free snapshot of your environment when you need to troubleshoot.
Nightly prerelease builds are now cut automatically, so you can ride the latest with omni upgrade --nightly.
