무제한 Claude에서 Codex 실행

Codex는 긴 자율 루프를 돌려 토큰당 과금으로는 예측이 어렵습니다. 정액 무제한이면 필요한 만큼 반복해도 비용은 고정입니다.

Set up the custom provider

Codex reads ~/.codex/config.toml. Add a [model_providers.<name>] table with the gateway base_url, the env_key holding your key, and wire_api = "chat" for the OpenAI-compatible surface, then select it with model_provider.

The CLI, the SDK, and the VS Code extension all read the same file, so one config covers every way you run Codex.

Base URL and model

Use the base URL with /v1 — Codex appends the route itself. Set model to a Claude id the gateway serves (claude-sonnet-4-5 or claude-opus-4-8), no prefix, and export your key into the env_key variable.

Provider ids openai, ollama and lmstudio are reserved; give yours a different name. Keys live in the user-level config, not a project copy.

Why unlimited fits Codex

Each Codex task is a multi-turn loop that resends context every step, so a single deep run can move enormous token volume. On metered pricing that is unpredictable — a loop that retries overnight can quietly run up a large bill.

Flat-rate unlimited removes the meter entirely. You stop rationing turns and let Codex pursue the task to completion, knowing the cost is fixed for the period.

Pick the right model for the loop

Use a Sonnet-class model for most agentic work and an Opus-class one for the hardest reasoning. On an unlimited plan you can leave the stronger model selected without watching token cost.

Verify wire_api against your Codex version — "chat" for OpenAI-compatible; some builds expect "responses".

# ~/.codex/config.toml
model = "claude-sonnet-4-5"
model_provider = "aiprime"

[model_providers.aiprime]
base_url = "https://claudeapikey.dev/v1"
env_key = "AIPRIME_API_KEY"
wire_api = "chat"

FAQ

Can I run Codex on an unlimited Claude plan?
Yes — define a custom provider in config.toml with the gateway base_url and wire_api = "chat", set a Claude model, and the flat-rate plan covers every run.

Why is unlimited good for Codex?
Codex runs long multi-turn loops that resend context, so token use is high and unpredictable. Unlimited keeps cost fixed regardless of run length.

Does the base URL need /v1?
Yes — {SITE}/v1. Codex appends the route itself.

Are there limits on the unlimited plan?
No token limits during the plan, only fair-use rate limits to keep the gateway fast.
