Ghostty - a modern cross-platform very fast terminal written in Zig by non other than Mitchell Hashimoto of Hashicorp fame - is currently in private beta. Public release date is not set but seems to be in few months. BTW, getting into private beta is not difficult. I am using it as my daily driver and love it!

How do you get to private beta?

When you open Codecierge in the toolbar sidebar, it warns you with this: > Everything that happens in your terminal while Codecierge is running will be sent to OpenAI. Don't send them confidential information! And when you check the box "Run commands automatically" it shows you this popup: > This lets an AI completely control your computer. It could delete your files, do something stupid or dangerous, or lead to the…

Genuine question from iTerm users: which of its many, many features do you use most and find most valuable? I have always had it installed, but Terminal.app from macOS seems to have been enough for me. Maybe because I’m always using tmux anyway and that covers some of iTerm’s advantages. But I’m still curious about iTerm.
I like how easy it has been to manage Unix terminal keys without giving up non-US keyboard altogether. Other Unix/Linux terminal stuff like middle click/tap paste. Search is good. Hotkey window ("Quake" mode") is a fun one, but never seem to remember to call it. Contrast adjustment to tweak themes for readability. Smart Selection for urls and the like.
But I've been an user for many years, so hard to look at the experience through features.
How does iTerm compare to Prompt from Panic for people who used both a lot? I just use the default terminal that comes with macOS but was considering trying one of these ones.
Are we past the point of no return? Does all software need to have AI features now? I know it's opt-in, but just knowing it's there makes me not want to use this any more.
> Does all software need to have AI features now All software where it makes sense, yes. AI/LLM are a tool, especially efficient with text, so having terminal integration will be useful to some. Honestly if an AI can annotate some obscure command line errors with an explanation and a possible fix, I'm all for it. If an AI can help me generate jq filters, I'm all for it. If an AI can help me in any (non intrusive/obno…

For someone working on their personal projects for which they can make decisions about visibility, why wouldn't it be an acceptable workflow?
Make sure to add a note to the project’s privacy policy that user data is sent to openai.

I’m happy to discuss the tradeoffs.
There’s a change coming in the next dot release so managed environments can disable all generative ai features. I’ll keep an eye out for what others do in this regard to support enterprise users.

It is exposed from Advanced tab under "URL for AI API". You do have to change the model name from the preselected and offered OpenAI GPT model names. Otherwise this AI API URL isn't used. Haven't yet tested with local OAI compatible model yet, though, but did manage to break it using bad address :)
How do you change the model name from the preselected and offered OpenAI GPT model names? I don't see the option to do so.
Note that to make use of ollama, you'll have to wait for the next release or upgrade to a beta release --- while you can change the API right now it's using a newer format for the payload, that's fixed in the beta/next release.
