It isn’t the models, it’s the closed api and the tooling associated with it. It’s driving me crazy how not-talked-about this is.

You can point both Codex and Claude Code at a local model and they'll work just fine. Codex even explicitly supports that as a feature! [1]

With a nice UI on top, for the desktop app too: [2]

If I could leverage the same closed api VSCode uses, the entire moat is drained.

What you call harnesses I call… bullshit?
