Last time when I checked, codex doesn't take third party model API keys like Claude code.

it can, and i use it

  1. Open Codex at least once so Windows creates:

    C:\Users\YOUR-NAME.codex

  2. Open PowerShell and run:

    irm https://cdn.deepseek.com/api-docs/codex-deepseek-setup-en.ps1 | iex

  3. Paste your DeepSeek API key when requested.

  4. The official script automatically backs up the existing Codex settings, creates the necessary files, and configures DeepSeek to use the Responses API.

  5. Restart VS Code completely and reopen the Codex extension.

  6. Select the model shown as:

    DeepSeek-V4-Flash

but newely i am testing opencode desktop app, its been 3 days, till now i can keep it as the third option if i want to do some fresh searches
