Those of you who pay attention to AI developers on X and other platforms know they are always looking for ways to run powerful models locally. It is possible to run Codex on your Mac with a local model like Qwen3.6‑35B‑A3B 6‑bit on an M5 Max 128GB machine. To do something like this, you will need to point Codex’s backend to LM Studio’s OpenAI compatible server and tell Codex to use that provider and model.
