# Linear lets coding agent users bring their own model API keys

_Published Thursday, November 12, 2026 at 12:05 PM EST · AI, Products · Latest · Tier 2 — Notable_

Linear says customers can now use their own model provider API keys with its cloud coding agent, allowing them to apply existing provider credits and negotiated rates. Workspace administrators can enable the option on all current plans.

Supported connections include OpenAI, Anthropic, AWS Bedrock, Azure OpenAI, Claude in Microsoft Foundry, OpenRouter and Vercel, plus gateways supporting the OpenAI Responses or Anthropic Messages API. Providers bill model usage directly, while sandbox runtime still consumes Linear AI credits. Customers need an API key; a ChatGPT or Claude subscription does not qualify.
