I Ran Gemma 4 as a Local Model in Codex CLI

What it is

A hands-on write-up of wiring Google's open Gemma 4 model into the Codex command-line coding agent so it runs locally instead of calling a hosted API.

Why I recommend it

Useful if you want to try coding agents without paying per token — local models are slower, but free and private.
