Codex CLI adds third-party model support with four-step verification

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The Codex CLI has been updated to support third-party models, with a focus on ensuring their usability beyond just saving configuration files. The process involves four key checks: verifying the model ID is exposed, confirming the API returns visible text, ensuring Codex loads the correct model and provider, and checking local command policy for tool actions. Testing with DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash on Windows PowerShell demonstrated successful API responses and model loading, while GLM-5.3-Flash showed issues with output generation despite successful authentication.

    <p>A saved configuration is only the first checkpoint. To determine whether a third-party model is usable in Codex CLI, I separated the test into four questions:</p> <ol> <li>Does the current account expose the intended model ID?</li> <li>Does the API return visible text, not onl…
