> This article makes me reconsider using my recently acquired Codex sub in my home setup. I never liked that they hide the reasoning, but somehow overrode the cognitive dissonance because the performance is so good. But the inauditability is already a huge problem.

Same, I dislike it so much I've acquired 96GB of VRAM to run local models, but sadly nothing so far, even with that amount of VRAM, comes even close to running Codex with GPT models. I really, really, really want local models to be ready, and things like Laguna S2.1 NVFP4 gets really close of almost being there, when it comes to coding specifically. But still feels like we have a long way to go for local models to be serious general purpose alternatives.

The open models are good! Even when hosted, they buy you a lot of portability.
