Developer Anionex released open-source project codex-deepseek-vision, enabling text-only models like DeepSeek to use Codex's built-in viewimage tool without extra MCP, skills, or CLI. It includes proxy scripts and a vision toolkit supporting image Q&A, screenshot analysis, OCR, and visual grounding, verified in real Codex + DeepSeek sessions.
