# OpenAI

> 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](/manage/ai/providers/overview) if you haven't created a provider before. Field options are in [Provider Configuration](/manage/ai/providers/configuration).

## Defaults

| Setting      | Value                                     |
| ------------ | ----------------------------------------- |
| Upstream URL | `https://api.openai.com/v1`               |
| Auth type    | Bearer                                    |
| Capabilities | OpenAI Chat Completions, OpenAI Responses |

## Configure

1. Sidebar → **AI Gateway** → **Providers** → **Create**.
2. Set **Provider Type** to **OpenAI**. Name, capabilities, upstream URL, and auth type fill in from the defaults above.
3. Paste your OpenAI API key.
4. Set **Allow** and **Block** lists. `*` allows every model key; `gpt-*` is a typical narrower pattern.
5. Save, then attach the provider to an [AI Gateway resource](/manage/ai/overview).

Leave the upstream URL as the default unless you are pointing at a compatible OpenAI-style base URL.
