Question 1

What is Roundtable?

Accepted Answer

Roundtable is a free, open-source command-line tool that convenes a council of up to six frontier AI models — Grok, Codex/OpenAI, GLM, MiniMax, Claude, and Gemini — answering your question in parallel and optionally deliberating to consensus, so you get one decided answer.

Question 2

Which models sit at the table?

Accepted Answer

Six heads: Grok (xAI), Codex/OpenAI, GLM (Z.ai), MiniMax, Claude (Anthropic), and Gemini (Google). Each head is optional — configure the keys you have and the council runs with whatever subset is available.

Question 3

How do I install Roundtable?

Accepted Answer

Run the one-line installer `curl -fsSL https://roundtable.sh/install.sh | bash`, or install with uv (`uv tool install roundtable`), pip (`pip install roundtable`), or Homebrew (`brew install frontier-infra/tap/roundtable`).

Question 4

Do I need API keys or local CLIs?

Accepted Answer

You need at least one provider API key. Roundtable runs on plain keys with no hosted account or SSO. Where an authenticated local CLI such as codex is present it is preferred, but no vendor CLI is required.

Question 5

What is the difference between advisory and deliberation mode?

Accepted Answer

Advisory is one round where each head answers blind and you get every independent take plus a synthesis. Deliberation runs multiple rounds where each head sees the whole table and revises until a Claude chair declares consensus.
