ORYNX

Codex CLI

Use GPT and Grok models in Codex CLI through the Responses API.

Codex CLI only uses the OpenAI Responses API, so it works with the GPT and Grok models on ORYNX.

Configure

~/.codex/config.toml
model = "gpt-5.5"
model_provider = "orynx"

[model_providers.orynx]
name = "ORYNX"
base_url = "https://api.orynx.dev/v1"
env_key = "ORYNX_API_KEY"
wire_api = "responses"
export ORYNX_API_KEY="sk-orynx-..."
codex

Keep wire_api = "responses". Current Codex versions refuse to load a config with wire_api = "chat".

Notes

  • Models to try: gpt-5.5 ($1.50 / $9.00), gpt-5.6-sol ($1.20 / $6.00), gpt-6-astra ($3.00 / $15.00) and grok-4.6 ($0.50 / $1.50).
  • With approvals_reviewer = "auto_review", Codex sends approval requests to the codex-auto-review model, billed at its own price ($1.50 / $9.00).
  • Codex compacts long sessions by asking the current model for a summary, billed like any other request. Codex only uses OpenAI's server-side compaction when the provider name is exactly OpenAI.
  • Claude, Gemini, Kimi, GLM and DeepSeek models do not support the Responses API, so Codex cannot use them.
