# Objective Grok in the agent is BYOK only today (`x_ai` plus an API key from console.x.ai). SuperGrok is a separate subscription, so you either pay twice or you skip Grok in Zed. This makes SuperGrok a first-class LLM provider, same idea as ChatGPT Subscription or GitHub Copilot Chat. Discussion: https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/discussions/63114#discussioncomment-18158663 ## Solution Adds a SuperGrok provider next to the API-key one. Sign in / Sign out is in Settings → AI → LLM Providers, same shape as ChatGPT Subscription. Tokens go in the OS keychain, not settings.json. Shipped models: Grok 4.6 (default), Grok 4.5, Grok Build 0.1. Reasoning effort on 4.5/4.6 matches the BYOK xAI provider (no `none`, default high, 4.6 has xhigh). Some Grok plans still get HTTP 403 after a successful login. The error says the account cannot use this API and points at the API-key provider. ## Testing I have been running this locally for a few days on macOS 27 (public beta) with a SuperGrok Heavy subscription. No issues so far. `cargo test -p x_ai_subscribed --lib` and `cargo test -p language_models --lib provider::x_ai_subscribed` pass. ## Self-Review Checklist: - [x] I've reviewed my own diff for quality, security, and reliability - [x] Unsafe blocks (if any) have justifying comments - [x] The content adheres to Zed's UI standards ([UX/UI](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#uiux-checklist) and [icon](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/crates/icons/README.md) guidelines) - [x] Tests cover the new/changed behavior - [x] Performance impact has been considered and is acceptable ## Showcase SuperGrok LLM provider settings: <img width="956" height="816" alt="Screenshot 2026-08-26 at 13 41 17" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/ef2d464a-66ad-416a-a924-725a18d41164" /> --- Release Notes: - Added SuperGrok sign-in so a SuperGrok subscription can use Grok models in the agent
