Codex CLI brings an agent into the terminal, but teams often want that agent to use more than one model source. OGX gives Codex one OpenAI-compatible connection to local models, hosted models, and secured deployments.

With ogx connect codex, you can launch Codex against the models exposed by a running OGX server without hand-editing your normal Codex configuration. OGX discovers the available models, writes a temporary Codex session home, forwards auth and provider data when needed, and starts Codex with a session that points at OGX.

This post walks through the command, the generated Codex profile, and a local-first path with Ollama and vLLM. The result is a small but useful workflow: Codex gets a familiar Responses API endpoint, and teams keep model access, auth, and provider choice in OGX instead of hard-coding those details into every developer tool.

OGX now signs Bedrock requests with standard AWS SigV4, so the server uses the same credential chain your platform already runs. No bearer tokens to manage, no custom auth plumbing in your application code.

If your team uses IAM roles, IRSA, or STS for Bedrock access, this means OGX fits into your existing AWS identity model without extra moving parts. Apps talk to one OpenAI-compatible API while OGX handles the provider-specific auth behind the scenes.

For the implementation details, see issue #4730 and PR #5388.

Two weeks ago, we told you the name changed. Today, we're telling you it's done.

OGX 1.0 is a server that replaces the OpenAI API with something you own. Point your existing OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google SDK at it. Run any model on any infrastructure. Get server-side agentic orchestration, built-in RAG, MCP tool integration, multi-tenancy, and production observability out of the box. No vendor lock-in. No code changes.

This is not a beta. This is not "production-ready with caveats." This is v1.

Llama Stack is now OGX. The name changed, but more importantly, so did the mission.

When this project started, it was an API standardization effort — a set of specs for building AI applications, anchored to the Llama model family. That framing attracted contributors and integrations, but it also created confusion about what the project actually is. People thought it was a spec. Or a Llama-only thing. Or another framework.

It's none of those. OGX is a server. Specifically, it's a server-side agentic loop that speaks the native API of every major frontier lab — OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google — so your application code doesn't have to care which one you're using.

This post explains why we renamed, what changed in the project's direction, and what that means for you.
