560	5015	In this tutorial, we'll install OpenAI's codeex app on Windows.
5015	7408	Then using CC switch and AI hub mix.
7408	13110	We'll make it run on almost any AI model, not just Open on almost any AI model, not just Open AIS.
13120	14423	Start in your browser.
14423	21434	Search for codeex Start in your browser.
21434	28790	Search for codeex download.
28800	42470	Open the official codeex page on Open the official codeex page on openai.com.
42480	49510	Click download for Windows.
49520	56549	The installer itself is tiny, so it's done in seconds.
56559	62310	When it finishes, show it in file When it finishes, show it in file explorer.
62320	70710	Rightclick the installer and run it as Rightclick the installer and run it as administrator.
70720	77910	A setup window opens and a real download A setup window opens and a real download begins.
77920	96469	This package is about 700 megabytes.
96479	100404	Fair warning, this part can be slow, usually 5 to 6 minutes.
100404	110149	So, let's skip the wait.
110159	115742	And we're back.
115742	122069	96% and counting.
122079	135350	The moment it hits 100, everything happens on its own.
135360	145110	The installer closes and Codeex launches The installer closes and Codeex launches itself.
145120	146659	It lands on a sign-in screen.
146659	148083	And here's the key part.
148083	149510	Don't click anything.
149520	150776	We're never going to log in.
150776	153910	That's what CC Switch is for.
153920	155103	Codeex is installed.
155103	156551	Now for the fun part.
156551	157654	CC Switch.
157654	162900	CC Switch is a free open- source app that can point CEcs at thirdparty providers.
162900	170111	We'll use it to connect to AI HubMix, one gateway that carries basically every AI model behind a single API key.
170111	177430	Today's example model, DeepSeek V4 Flash, the 0731 release.
177440	184630	Head to the CC Switch site and hit download free.
184640	188630	It takes us to the downloads page.
188640	189990	Pick your operating system.
189990	197110	We're on Windows 10, so we take the x64 Windows 10, so we take the x64 installer.
197120	199350	Chrome flags the file as unverified.
199360	201589	That's just safe browsing being off.
201599	208660	Keep it 12 megabytes.
208660	209698	Done instantly.
209698	212344	Open it to 12 megabytes.
212344	214588	Done instantly.
214588	217430	Open it to install.
217440	219323	Setup takes a few seconds.
219323	221825	Then CC switch is ready.
221825	223190	Open it up.
223200	225731	At the top, switch to the open AI section.
225731	227589	That's the one codeex reads.
227599	231990	Then hit the plus to add a provider.
232000	242229	From the presets, choose AI hub mix icon and endpoint fill in automatically.
242239	243677	Next, we need an API key.
243677	249350	So, over to the AIHubmix website.
249360	256469	Search for iHubmix and open Search for iHubmix and open aihubmix.com.
256479	265030	One gateway, infinite models, every major LLM behind one unified API.
265040	269189	Click console.
269199	271350	It asks us to sign in Google account.
271360	281110	One click.
281120	294870	Once we're in, open API keys in the sidebar and add a new key.
294880	298501	Name it DeepSk V4 flash 0731.
298501	304550	So we know what it's for.
304560	306047	Notice the options here.
306047	310710	Quota and an expiry time.
310720	312790	We'll give this key an expiration date.
312800	313253	One day.
313253	316100	If it ever leaks, it's already dead.
316100	319749	Cheap insurance.
319759	320648	Submit.
320648	323189	And there's our key.
323199	324452	Copy it before closing.
324452	325689	It's only shown once.
325689	331189	Back in CC switch, paste the key into the AI HubMix provider.
331199	333830	Bonus feature, endpoint speed testing.
333840	335233	Both endpoints answer fast.
335233	339110	Either one will do.
339120	340780	Now, the default model.
340780	345526	Click the download icon and CC switch pulls the full AI hub mix model list.
345526	349830	Everything they carry.
349840	357749	Filter for Deepseek and select Deepseek V4 flash0731.
357759	359909	Keep the upstream format on responses.
359919	363270	That's what Codeex speaks natively.
363280	365430	Add it saved.
365440	367270	The new provider appears at the bottom.
367280	368464	Click it to enable it.
368464	374550	Now it's the active config for Codeex.
374560	376558	Time to restart Codeex properly.
376558	377396	Close the window.
377396	394390	Then quit it from the system tray bottom right corner and launch it again.
394400	395364	while it starts.
395364	406870	Remember last time it demanded a chat GPT signin.
406880	409135	This time straight to the welcome screen.
409135	410450	No login at all.
410450	416150	CC switch already wired codecs to AI HubMix.
416160	417089	Pick any field.
417089	418204	It doesn't matter.
418204	420223	And Pick any field.
420223	422410	It doesn't matter.
422410	423990	And continue.
424000	427982	It offers a demo task.
427982	429430	Skip it.
429440	431301	Confirm.
431301	433860	Go to chat.
433860	434790	GPT.
434800	436395	One last popup.
436395	438204	Pitching GPT 5.6.
438204	439953	Take continue with current model.
439953	441616	So, we stay on our custom setup.
441616	442901	Here's the main screen.
442901	446143	Bottom right of the input box, the model says custom.
446143	449983	That's our DeepSeek V4 flash riding through AI HubMix.
449983	451610	Time for a real test.
451610	464870	I'll ask for a short introduction of AI HubMix.
464880	468710	Questions in send it.
468720	473464	The request flows through AIHub Mix to Deep Seek and Codeex gets to work.
473464	474292	It's an agent.
474292	484390	So instead of guessing, it actually runs a shell command to look around first.
484400	488070	21 seconds of work.
488080	491189	And here's the reply.
491199	492249	It's an honest one.
492249	499990	The model says it doesn't have reliable information about AI HubMix and asks for a URL or some context instead of making things up.
500000	501283	Fine by us.
501283	504550	Next, we'll hand it the URL.
504560	506246	Picking up right where we left off.
506246	508859	The model wanted a URL.
508859	511189	Let's give it one.
511199	513475	The answer, an AI model aggregator.
513475	520550	And the URL is aihubmix.com.
520560	521688	Sent.
521688	525750	Now watch it work.
525760	535509	It announces the plan, fetch info from the site, and fires off curl to download the homepage.
535519	537670	The first attempt hits a Windows quirk.
537680	541341	In PowerShell, curl is just an alias for invoke web request.
541341	549750	The model catches that and switches to the real curl.exe.
549760	550670	Still blocked.
550670	560389	So, it retries this time pretending to be a browser with a masilla user agent.
560399	562550	This is what makes agents fun to watch.
562560	570870	It's debugging its own path to the It's debugging its own path to the answer.
570880	585030	And remember, this is Deepseek V4 Flash, a fast, inexpensive model doing genuine multi-step work.
585040	597590	Once the page downloads, it strips the HTML down to readable text.
597600	601670	1 minute 31 seconds of work.
601680	604550	And here's the payoff.
604560	607311	A real introduction sourced from the live site.
607311	613390	One API, many models, and OpenAI compatible endpoint routing developer tools.
613390	614209	The works.
614209	615110	Final stop.
615120	616753	Let's see what all of this cost.
616753	618684	Back to the AI HubMix console.
618684	620583	In the sidebar, open logs.
620583	622747	Here is every request open logs.
622747	624069	Here is every request itemized.
624079	635597	Each row shows the model, our DeepSk, V4, Flash 0731, tokens in and out, cash tokens, latency around a second and a half, and the exact spend.
635597	638843	Most of these calls cost less than a tenth of a cent.
638843	646600	And that's the full setup. codecs on Windows, CC switch in the middle, and one AI HubMix key that unlocks any model you want to try.
646600	650000	Thanks for watching.
