    not quite dots related but I am surprised by some of the openai negativity in here.

    to me they still are the only lab that ships fantastic models that are easily portable to different agentic harnesses. I use my codex subscription 24/7 within opencode and wingman and haven't had any complaints in a long time.

      Right. Except not.

      There are plenty of self-hostable models. Hell, there are now model-specific runtimes that make it easy to run big models on consumer hardware. Strata, just a couple days ago released, lets me run Qwen 3.8 Flash Next at home on a single 3090 at 90 tok&#x2F;s.

      So, yeah, I&#x27;ll be passing on these &quot;labs&quot; walled gardens,
