recent Claude Another wave of account bans has begun, both new and old, disappearing without warning. The most frustrating part is that all the carefully built-in context, personal preferences, and project workflows have to be completely reorganized and migrated…

Many people are starting to switch to Codex, which has a more user-friendly interface and a more systematic experience, but OpenAI Subscription requires an overseas bank card. This payment hurdle alone has deterred many ordinary users.

Fortunately, the Codex official ecosystem is very open, allowing us to freely configure third-party models.

We can fully utilize domestically developed models, such as... DeepSeekKimi, as long as it supports OpenAI It's compatible with most interfaces and can theoretically be integrated with Codex. This not only avoids payment barriers but also reduces token costs.

If you're a complete beginner, I'd recommend starting with Kimi. Kimi excels in Chinese language understanding, long text processing, and coding.MultimodalIt has strong overall capabilities and is the most suitable domestic model for Codex.

Furthermore, I regularly subscribe to Kimi's membership, and within the membership limit, there are no additional token fees.

We are using a cross-platform desktop assistant that has already garnered 112k+ stars on GitHub. CC Switch.

CC Switch is a AI A model switcher, specifically designed to help us manage model vendors for different tools, was originally used in... Claude Code Currently, Codex, OpenCode, and OpenClaw are mentioned.Hermes Agent Everything is usable now.

Previously, when changing models, we had to manually edit JSON, TOML, or .env files. Different tools had different configuration formats, which could easily stump beginners. With CC Switch, you can directly add suppliers and fill in information directly in the interface. API KeySwitching is as easy as clicking the mouse a few times.SimpleToo many.

We turn on CC Switch, in Open...AI Click the "+" in the project.

On the Add New Supplier screen, select the Kimi For Coding preset.

Note that it's not Kimi, but Kimi For Coding. Since I usually subscribe to Kimi, Kimi For Coding will automatically credit my membership, so I don't need to spend any extra money.

CC Switch has already pre-filled the parameters for us; we just need to enter the API Key from the dropdown menu.

We open Kimi Code, create a new API Key in the console, copy it, and then paste it back into CC Switch.

Locate the local router switch and turn it on.

Now, when you open Codex again, you'll see that the model options on the page now include "Custom" or "Kimi," and you can use it normally.

If you want to switch back to Open laterAI The official model, in CC Switch, disables routing and switches to Open.AI Official is sufficient.

Kimi is already quite adept at Chinese comprehension, long text processing, and coding. After connecting to Codex, these capabilities are no longer confined to the chat window; she can access local files, projects, and workflows through Codex, truly applying these skills to specific tasks.

Codex directly generated a playable HTML web game. The visuals were created using SVG, and the game logic was complete.

Once opened, you can choose from sunflowers, pea shooters, and wall-nuts. Click on the lawn to plant, collect sunlight, and block zombie attacks. Although the graphics, stats, and animations still need further polishing, a working demo can be made in just a few minutes, which is already quite efficient.

Summary report

a lot of AI The materials are all in English, with many pages and dense data; it would be tiring for the average person to read even once. We can also send the report to Codex.

To summarize the document I uploaded, "Stanford..." AI The Index Report 2026 extracts 10 key conclusions that are most relevant to ordinary users.

We don't need to read English PDFs ourselves; we can simply have Codex + Kimi break down the English reports into trend conclusions that ordinary people can understand, which is very convenient.

Creating a PPT

In real-world office settings, we can also distill our workflows into skills for use. For example, if we need to create a PowerPoint presentation, we can first install a skill.

PPT generation has always been Kimi's forte. Kimi helps us break down information into appropriate structures, with each page representing a core idea. He uses large numbers to highlight key points and adds an explanation that ordinary people can understand, making it easy to read.

The layout is also simple and clean, with alternating dark and light backgrounds, and the content is well-organized with main headings, key numbers, and short explanations, preventing the page from becoming monotonous.

Video production

Compared to some models that are more focused on text and reasoning, Kimi has a more comprehensive performance.MultimodalIt has the capability to handle complex requirements related to images and videos.

I had Codex use the Remotion plugin to create a short video featuring a mobile game ranking list:

@remotion Please help me make a short video compilation of the 5 most popular mobile games in China in 2026. It needs to include real game video clips (download them yourself, each one only needs to be a few seconds long). The clips need to be high-definition, and the aspect ratio of each clip should be consistent. Refer to the effect of professional ranking lists. Search for ranking lists and video materials yourself, and add appropriate narration and background music.

Let's take a look at the final video:

The key point is that this video only took 16 minutes to make, which is very efficient.

Instead of dealing with the hassle of overseas payments and the anxiety of potentially having your account suspended at any time, why not try a different approach?Use Codex, this useful tool Agent The tools are combined with the modeling capabilities that we use most conveniently in our daily lives.

Kimi K2.7 Code's modeling capabilities are already very close. GPTIt has a resolution of -5.5, is more suitable for Chinese-speaking environments, and has a low cost of use, making it suitable for most people.Kimi is perhaps the best choice for integrating with Codex, as it has a low barrier to entry and a better overall experience.

We used to use AIOften, we need to manually copy and paste content and upload files. Now, we can simply give Codex a goal, and Codex can use its model capabilities to understand the task, read local files, modify files, generate results, and save them to a specified directory.

From chatting to helping us get the job done, this may be the prototype of the future human-machine collaborative workflow.
