Codex not see settings file

Resolved 💬 2 comments Opened Apr 29, 2025 by gitmeatarru Closed Aug 7, 2025

What version of Codex is running?

0.1.2504251709

Which model were you using?

qwen3
(LM Studio)

What platform is your computer?

windows 11 x64

What steps can reproduce the bug?

as I can see, you have finally added the ability to add other models, but this option does not seem to work yet.

as you have written in the documentation, you need to specify the following in the settings file::
provider_API_KEY
provider_BASE_URL

well, let's check it out, here's my file:

QWEN_API_KEY=""
QWEN_BASE_URL="http://192.168.0.12:1234"
model: qwen3-30b-a3b # Default model
fullAutoErrorMode: ask-user # or ignore-and-continue
notify: true # Enable desktop notifications for responses
safeCommands:
  - npm test

as you can see, it does not even see the specified model, although before that, there was gpt-4.1-nano and it saw everything perfectly!

The second attempt to force it to use the provider
--provider qwen
you can see in the screenshot below:

For some reason, he decided that the model was o4 mini and that the provider was openai!!!
Why did you write me a ban by country, if I use a local model! lol
Or is it so fashionable now? That even a local network is important in which country?! It's funny!

What is the expected behavior?

execution of instructions

What do you see instead?
