Earlier quoted context omitted.

vs code supports local models (bring your own key/model) you need a model server - ollama/llama.cpp/lm studio

> bring your own key Do you mean supporting oai-compatible api URLs in copilot? If so then you need either VS Code Insiders, or a VS Code extension I believe?

This sucks. Codex was already in the mobile app. And Codex in the browser or in the app sucks because it's not the same as local Codex (VS Code or CLI). And you can't pick the model. Sucks a$$.

Isn’t what you described exactly what they just released? Now it connects to local Codex and you can pick the model?

I don't understand OpenAI's product strategy.

It seems pretty simple:

1) Keep getting investors to give them money.

2) Convince the right people that OpenAI is "critical to national security" so that when 1 runs out, they can get bailed out by the government.

Everything else is just set dressing.

Could Codex CLI get this support also? I am sure a lot of us are running remote linux machines with Nvidia GPUs, with codex CLI running

I think this is a thing, maybe need to upgrade your codex cli.

Seems we must have a macOS Codex App running to enable linux box - phone communication

What if you don't start on your laptop or workstation? Also, does the UI shown in the video reveal a model toggle? Doesn't look like it

Edit: actually it gets worse -- you can't start any tasks any longer in your mobile, you are required to sign in from your desktop/workstation. You can't "sign in" from your CLI.

Whoever made this, paper cuts I wish onto you. It sucks.

Edit2: actually you can ssh, so I presume that allows you to do the CLI -- and you still can do mobile first tasks, but it's not intuitive at all. Mobile first tasks you still can't pick the model, and I haven't tested the workstation connection one. That said, indeed paper cuts.

(Someone deleted a comment about why you'd want a mobile Codex app. This is the answer I wrote.) Once you've used these coding agents a lot, you develop a pretty intuitive feel for how they work, what they're capable of, what they're good at, and where their weaknesses are. Hopefully, you're already pretty familiar with the code base you're working on. Combining the two, this means you can get quite far essentially "…
