How to use Zed with any AI model

Zed's assistant reads an openai-compatible provider config. Drop in AnyModel's base URL and key to reach every model from one place.

Setup

  1. 1.
    Create a free account and copy your API key.
  2. 2.

    In Zed, add a custom OpenAI-compatible provider with these values:

    base_url: https://anymodel.org/v1
api_key:  <YOUR_API_KEY>
model:    claude-sonnet-4-6

    Then pick a model from the list — switch models any time by changing the model id.

  3. 3.
    Start coding. Switch models any time by changing the model id — same key, same endpoint.

FAQ

Do I need a subscription to use Zed?

No. AnyModel is pay-per-token — you start on free credits (1,000,000 tokens, 6,000,000 if you link Telegram) and then pay only for what you use, no subscription.

Which models can I use in Zed?

All of them — GPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, Qwen and more, through one endpoint. You switch by changing the model id.

Is my data stored?

By default we keep request history. For sensitive work, turn on Ghost Mode for a zero-retention key — prompts and responses aren't stored on our side.
