Use Your ChatGPT Subscription in Zed

Zed now allows users to sign in with their ChatGPT accounts to access OpenAI's models directly within the Zed platform, offering the same usage benefits as Codex, which is included with every ChatGPT subscription. This integration comes at a time when other platforms like Anthropic and GitHub Copilot are shifting towards usage-based billing, but Zed and OpenAI aim to provide cost-effective options through existing subscriptions. Users can configure the integration by selecting models in the agent panel and benefit from flexible usage options, including using Zed's built-in agent, an ACP adapter for clients like JetBrains, and running Codex via the CLI. OpenAI's support for subscription-based access contrasts with the industry trend towards usage-based billing, and Zed encourages users to explore their editor on various operating systems.
