Codex switched to paid API tokens only. Not to mention their alignment with the department of war.

They’re still doing subscriptions: https://developers.openai.com/codex/pricing

I'm happy I invested in setting up Codex CLI and getting it to work with ollama. For the toughest jobs I can use Github Copilot (free as an academic) or Gemini CLI. If we see the per token price increase 5x or 10x as these companies move to focusing on revenue, local models will be the way to go, so long as stuff like Gemma 4 keeps getting released.

That's not true.

There was a headline saying they were, and the actual article showed they were doing nothingbof the sort.

If you read HN headlines, and don't even bother to click into the comments and see everyone calling out the headline as bogus, you might think something like your statement is true.

Can you give context for the API thing?

Edit: Looks like it still works with subs, they just measure usage per token instead of per message.
