# I Replaced Cloud AI with Local Codex App | Ollama + oMLX for Coding, Scheduling & Automation

**[Execute Automation](https://daily.dev/sources/executeautomation)** · 8 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

A walkthrough of running the Codex desktop app (OpenAI's coding agent) with a local LLM instead of cloud AI, using oMLX as the inference backend instead of Ollama. The setup involves modifying a config file to point Codex at a locally running oMLX server with an MTP-enabled model (Qwen 3.6 35B A3B), which supports multi-token prediction for 1.5–2x faster decoding. Demonstrated use cases include daily news briefing aggregation from multiple sources, calendar appointment checking via MCP server skills, and general automation workflows — all running entirely on-device.
