Get started in 3 steps

1

Create an API key at the OpenAI console.

2

Paste it into Big-AGI's model settings.

3

Start chatting, or Beam it against other models and fuse the answers.

Running OpenAI in Big-AGI

Add your OpenAI API key and use OpenAI's models at OpenAI's own API rates. Big-AGI isn't a reseller: no markup and no intermediary, so the bill comes straight from OpenAI to your account.

  • Your key, your billing. Usage is billed by OpenAI directly, nothing routes through us.
  • Reasoning effort and verbosity. Set both per request - effort from none up to max - so you tune depth and length instead of accepting a default.
  • Function calling and structured outputs. JSON-schema responses your code can parse without cleanup.
  • Hosted tools, tuned not guessed. Web search takes an adjustable context size and geolocation, and image generation and editing runs a real GPT Image pipeline with mask-based edits.

Why not just ChatGPT?

ChatGPT gives you one model in one box. Big-AGI runs OpenAI's models next to Claude, Gemini, Grok, and anything else you've connected, in the same conversation, something ChatGPT has no reason to offer.

It also hands you the dials ChatGPT hides: reasoning effort and verbosity are real parameters on OpenAI's API, not settings we invented. Your keys stay in your browser, not inside an OpenAI account. Big-AGI itself needs no account either, paste a key and start.

OpenAI bills per token too, so a light user can spend less in a month than a flat subscription, and a heavy user never hits an artificial cap, just a bill for tokens used. Beam parallel runs cost more tokens than a single ChatGPT reply, the honest tradeoff for comparing frontier models side by side.

Your keys and your data

Turn on Direct Connection under OpenAI's Advanced settings and the browser calls OpenAI directly, skipping the Big-AGI server, whenever your key lives client-side and OpenAI's API allows it. Your keys stay in your browser. Chats are stored locally first and sync only if you turn it on. The AI Inspector shows the exact request before it goes out: model, parameters, token counts, and a cost estimate.

OpenAI in Beam

Beam runs OpenAI's models against Claude, Gemini, or any other model you've connected, in parallel, then hands you Fusions: several strategies that combine, cross-check, and synthesize the parallel answers, which beats just picking the best one. Parallel runs use more tokens than a single chat.

Bring your OpenAI key. Keep control.

Your key, your data, your choice of model. Big-AGI's Open branch is open source and self-hostable, so you can check exactly how OpenAI is called.
