Auth-split proxy for the Codex App (OpenAI's coding agent): stay signed in with ChatGPT for the App UI while model requests route through a local proxy to your third-party OpenAI-compatible API provider. Includes an A/B benchmark to test whether your provider's Fast/Priority tier actually reduces latency. Project is paused; the author does not recommend new installs.

Route urgent code generation requests through priority queue to reduce latency
Switch between multiple OpenAI-compatible API providers without code changes
Monitor and balance API traffic across backup endpoints during outages

Usable rating — This tool is functional but has notable gaps. Review the evaluation notes below before deploying.

Why it matters

Reduces latency and request queuing for teams relying on OpenAI-compatible APIs, enabling faster code generation feedback loops and improving developer productivity during peak usage periods.

Best for

Engineering teams using third-party OpenAI-compatible APIs who need lower-latency code generation and priority request handling.

Things to check

Project paused by the author — README states it is 'not recommended for new installs right now' and remains available only as a reference implementation. Codex App tool, not a Claude tool. Fast/Priority is not guaranteed: some providers accept the priority hint without measurably faster responses; use the built-in A/B benchmark to verify.
Single maintainer. Consider the risk if this person stops maintaining the project.
