Which model were you using?
I don't know and that is the problem
What platform is your computer?
Linux 6.8.0-45-generic x86_64 x86_64
What steps can reproduce the bug?
I should say that I am using azure so maybe that is my issue.
$ codex --provider AZURE --model crazy-obviously-fake-model-name

What is the expected behavior?
Announce the requested model is unavailable and either state it's using a fallback or just refuse to proceed
Should report the actual model it is using
What do you see instead?
