If you already have an API key for an existing LLM provider—say Anthropic or OpenAI, for example—you can insert them into Zed and use the full power of the Agent Panel **_for free_**.
You can add your API key to a given provider either via the Agent Panel's settings UI or directly via the `settings.json` through the `language_models` key. To add an existing API key to a given provider, go to the Agent Panel settings (`agent: open settings`), look for the desired provider, paste the key into the input, and hit enter.
> Note: API keys are _not_ stored as plain text in your `settings.json`, but rather in your OS's secure credential storage.
