Get the Codex × Local Cheat Sheet

OpenAI's official Codex desktop app has an open provider layer — point it at Ollama on localhost and the entire Codex agent UI runs against any open-weight model on your machine. Zero API bills, zero rate limits, zero data leaving your laptop. This sheet gives you the exact 8-line ~/.codex/config.toml block, the 8-step Ollama setup, a model-by-VRAM picker (Gemma 4, Qwen, Llama, Deepseek), the FAQ that covers the gotchas, and the four reasons this matters more than OpenAI is letting on.
