why use a name, although spelled differently onyx vs onnx, that's already used and known in the ML/AI community?

That's a fair point! We were aware of onnx, but felt it was okay since they are very different products so we felt that there wouldn't be too much confusion (people generally know which onyx/onnx they are looking for).

		You're almost literally in the same ecosystem, it's not like one is a Chat UI for LLMs and the other a super market, but a ecosystem of open source machine learning software, libraries and tools. That the pronunciation is identical makes it untenable, you really need to reconsider the name, discussions in person will get confusing.
