alt Hacker NewsI wonder if they are gonna stop us from using gpt subscriptions in alternative harnesses. If not - that doesn't matter much, codex cli is a remarkably unremarkable harness.

Anthropic and Google already charge extra to use your own harness. That's 100% of the reason I'm using OpenAI.
If they go down that path I'll just go back to my old buddy Claude, or maybe buy a second Spark and keep it local.
Doubt they will do it as long as Anthropic is leading in business adoption. If they become the top dog with a good lead, all bets are off. Hopefully by the time open models will be even better than gpt-5.6 sol xD.
Given that codex itself now ships a proxy that wraps the subscription, it seems unlikely

There was a recent Twitter post from Tibo @ OpenAI asking someone to share how to run GPT on Claude Code so they don't seem to be against it.
"remarkably unremarkable harness" is why I like it so much.
Codex CLI not having a rewind makes it useless to me.

Probably not, the whole app-server machinery is there to facilitate that thing, would be a huge piece to rip out of codex. This is basically the reason I end up using codex the most, as it's the easiest to integrate against, with the app-server's RPC API making it really trivial.
Besides, most of my codex usage at this point is all through custom integrations I've built using Codex's app-server, not the Codex TUI they publish. I'm sure I'm not alone in this.
But, if they suddenly start to encrypt content on our disk, so only their backends can see it, and those things are prompts and other things that are actual inputs to the inference, then who cares if it's easy to integrate against, it becomes impossible to figure out what the fuck is going on, I can't understand how the team thought this was a good idea...
