Editions¶
Vox is open core. The open-source edition (this repository) is the complete audio-intelligence pipeline — capture, segment, ASR, TTS, router, and sinks — licensed Apache-2.0 and designed to run solo, self-hosted, or fully air-gapped. The enterprise edition adds the multi-tenant features that teams and regulated organizations need, under a separate commercial license. There is no relicensed core: the boundary between editions is the boundary between the two repositories.
Comparison¶
| Vox (OSS) | Vox Enterprise | |
|---|---|---|
| License | Apache-2.0 | Commercial |
| Scope | Single operator, self-hosted, air-gap-safe | Multi-tenant, cloud or self-hosted |
| Key features | Full pipeline (capture / segment / ASR / TTS / router / sinks), BYOK LLM, open sinks (S3-compatible, email, local, bd), air-gap default policy |
SSO/SCIM (WorkOS, FusionAuth), audit-event forwarding (Splunk / Datadog / Loki / Elasticsearch / syslog), pooled org credentials, managed-LLM bundled subscription, admin enable/disable controls |
| Repository | jsgerman-oss/blackrim-vox | jsgerman-oss/blackrim-vox-enterprise (private) |
Open-source edition (Vox)¶
- License: Apache-2.0 with patent grant; trademark rights not included.
- LLM: Bring-your-own-key (BYOK). The open-core code calls the provider API directly — no Vox proxy in this path.
- Scope: Per-operator. There is no multi-tenancy, SSO, or pooled credentials in this edition.
- Distribution: Source and binary; DCO contribution model.
Enterprise edition (Vox Enterprise)¶
- License: Commercial — separate agreement, separate repository.
- Identity: SSO and SCIM via WorkOS or FusionAuth; role-action matrix (RBAC).
- Audit: JSONL local audit log plus forwarding adapters for Splunk, Datadog, Loki, Elasticsearch, and syslog.
- Credentials: Pooled org credentials — administrators provision once, operators inherit.
- LLM: Optional bundled managed-LLM subscription (implements the same
open-core
sink/v1interface; the open-core code never touches the proxy).
Both editions speak the same wire formats and load enterprise features as drop-in extensions — upgrading does not require changes to your capture or sink configuration.
