What this guide covers

This page focuses on one thing: connecting SmewAI to Codex through the OpenAI-compatible endpoint and getting to a usable first session.

Before you begin

Make sure that:
  • you already created an API key in SmewAI Console
  • you know the actual model name you want to use
  • you can edit your local Codex config
  • you are connecting through the OpenAI-compatible endpoint
Common GPT model names:
Model name
gpt-5.5
gpt-5.4

Base endpoint

Use:
https://smew.ai/v1

Minimal verification

codex
If Codex starts normally and can return a response, the basic connection is working.
