Connect OpenAI as an AI Gateway provider
An OpenAI provider forwards Chat Completions and Responses requests to OpenAI's API. Attach it to an AI Gateway resource when you want Codex, OpenCode, Open WebUI, OpenClaw, or any other OpenAI-compatible client to use your org's OpenAI key.
See AI Providers if you haven't created a provider before. Field options are in Provider Configuration.
