:::info Codex Note
The OpenAI Codex provider authenticates via device code (open a URL, enter a code). Hermes stores the resulting credentials in its own auth store under `~/.hermes/auth.json` and can import existing Codex CLI credentials from `~/.codex/auth.json` when present. No Codex CLI installation is required.

```bash
# Add to ~/.hermes/.env

OPENAI_API_KEY=your-key-or-dummy
OPENAI_API_KEY=***

```
`hermes model` and the manual `.env` approach end up in the same runtime path. If you save a custom endpoint through `hermes model`, Hermes persists the provider + base URL in `config.yaml` so later sessions keep using that endpoint even if `OPENAI_BASE_URL` is not exported in your current shell.
Everything below follows this same pattern — just change the URL, key, and model name.

```yaml
auxiliary:
vision:

```
`provider: "main"` follows the same custom endpoint Hermes uses for normal chat. That endpoint can be set directly with `OPENAI_BASE_URL`, or saved once through `hermes model` and persisted in `config.yaml`.
:::tip
If you use Codex OAuth as your main model provider, vision works automatically — no extra configuration needed. Codex is included in the auto-detection chain for vision.
