Dott(@DottChen):This is just a start. I think OpenAI's strategy is to get every product to use the included tokens in their subscription. Start from developers, then generalize to knowledge workers. So that consumers users are incentivized to subscribe to their $200 premium token plans and use it, instead of using AI SaaS products' owned AI credits. Third party SaaS products that wrap their API will be forced to change their products' pricing model to support BYOM (Bring-Your-Own-Model) by the consumers, thus lose their own AI markup margin. A typical sneak attack: Your margin is my profit.

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.
