![]() (This PR does not add GPT-5 to Zed Pro, but rather adds access if you're using your own OpenAI API key.) <img width="772" height="333" alt="Screenshot 2025-08-07 at 2 23 18 PM" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/42e75082-118a-4737-89b6-a740ae33b169" /> --- **NOTE:** If your API key is not through a verified organization, you may see this error: <img width="549" height="253" alt="Screenshot 2025-08-07 at 2 04 54 PM" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/d0b6d739-9c39-4af3-88d7-0c9609b0e6ba" /> Even if your org is verified, you still may not have access to GPT-5, in which case you could see this error: <img width="543" height="98" alt="Screenshot 2025-08-07 at 2 09 18 PM" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/e3ed31e3-2a11-4f07-8f3c-5b410fbe4540" /> One way to test if you're in this situation is to visit https://platform.openai.com/chat/edit?models=gpt-5 and see if you get the same "you don't have access to GPT-5" error on OpenAI's official playground. It looks like this: <img width="581" height="196" alt="Screenshot 2025-08-07 at 2 15 25 PM" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/ea1454ca-3c10-4703-8126-c02cb92a34f2" /> Release Notes: - Added GPT-5, as well as its mini and nano variants. To use this, you need to have an OpenAI API key configured via the `OPENAI_API_KEY` environment variable. |

Licensing
License information for third party dependencies must be correctly provided for CI to pass.
We use cargo-about
to automatically comply with open source licenses. If CI is failing, check the following:
- Is it showing a
no license specified
error for a crate you've created? If so, addpublish = false
under[package]
in your crate's Cargo.toml. - Is the error
failed to satisfy license requirements
for a dependency? If so, first determine what license the project has and whether this system is sufficient to comply with this license's requirements. If you're unsure, ask a lawyer. Once you've verified that this system is acceptable add the license's SPDX identifier to theaccepted
array inscript/licenses/zed-licenses.toml
. - Is
cargo-about
unable to find the license for a dependency? If so, add a clarification field at the end ofscript/licenses/zed-licenses.toml
, as specified in the cargo-about book.
