# Use Your ChatGPT Subscription in Zed — Zed's Blog

**[Zed](https://daily.dev/sources/zed)** · 2 min read · 34 upvotes · 4 comments

## Summary

Zed now supports signing in with a ChatGPT account to use OpenAI's models directly within the editor, leveraging the same Codex usage included in existing ChatGPT subscriptions. This positions Zed as a cost-effective alternative as competitors like GitHub Copilot move to usage-based billing and Anthropic separates agent credits from subscriptions. Users can access OpenAI models through Zed's built-in agent, via an ACP adapter, through the Codex CLI in a Zed terminal, or by bringing their own OpenAI API key.
