finally paying up for chatGPT and using the Codex desktop app was my real "I'm sold" moment with AI.

Setting up projects and working with the AI on local files has been great, but only for my personal account. I've been trying to get it set up for work that provides OpenAI models through a 3rd party tool, company hosted models, as local-machine models and the UX is just straight up awful.

there's no GUI for profiles or custom endpoints, the config.toml sucks and the overall experience is primitive.

At this stage I really want a Codex-like harness but I need more fluid control over the models, I want features like pinning a project to a provider, as well as pulling in all the models from that provider, also having all providers available.

So if I need to pop over to one project to consult about product A, then pop to another project to do some code analysis on product B I can do so fluidly and have my tokens billed to the right place for each concern.

or a project that can span all of the resources. like having the OpenAi models orchestrate sub-agents on the local or hosted models.
