Zed adds ChatGPT subscription support to its agent

Zed has added support for ChatGPT subscriptions in its agent. Users sign in with existing ChatGPT accounts and keep the same usage and rate limits available in Codex. The feature appears in the editor as a sign-in option showing the ChatGPT logo. The official Zed account announced the change, which relies on OpenAI's ongoing provision of subscription-based access to third-party tools.

You can now use your ChatGPT subscription in the Zed agent, with the same usage and rate limits you benefit from in Codex directly. We're grateful that @openaidevs continues to support subscription-based access for third-party tools, even as others move toward usage-based billing.
