@php_martin: OpenAI Codex is now free. But what really shocked me isn't the free part — it's that local open-source models can deliver AI Agent performance close to the cloud experience. The video demonstrates 4 real-world scenarios: fixing a crashed space game, building a Whac-A-Mole web game in minutes, generating an Apple-style product homepage, and even launching a browser to search, download, and save files on its own.

OpenAI Codex is now free.
But what really blew my mind isn’t the free part.
It’s that a local open-source model can actually deliver a cloud-like AI Agent experience.
The video demonstrates 4 real-world scenarios:
- Fixing a broken space game
- Building a Whack-a-Mole web game in minutes
- Generating an Apple-style product landing page
- Opening a browser, searching, downloading, and saving files on its own
No API key needed, no cloud dependency — it even works offline.
If you’re planning to try local AI, there’s one pitfall to avoid:
Don’t use Ollama’s default context length directly. Change it to 16K or 8K, or you’ll likely get stuck in a “reconnecting” loop.
Token freedom may not be here yet.
But the local agent era? It’s already arrived.
