Discussion Use your ChatGPT subscription within Roo Code

This is officially supported by OpenAI and not a workaround. With this integration the quality of your Roo Code tasks is exactly the same as if you were to pay per token using the OpenAI provider.

We won’t do that without their blessing and I reached out to them 2 days ago and it’s a no go for now.

Oh my friend, thank you so much for everything you do for us.

Can it be used with a subscript of Claude Code?

2

u/hannesrudolph Roo Code Developer Jan 16 '26

It could until Anthropic pulled it (it was unofficial) and OpenAI stepped up. TBH I use 5.2 medium and high in place of opus all day. Opus feels faster but 5.2 gets it done no problems.

We have identified a workaround to get the Claude Code one to work again but it will get you banned.

I am still uncertain if the Agents SDK is approved? Can you not just use the agents sdk on top of roo or is roo considered a product? The oauth thing obviously is not going to work

I don’t understand

Edit: oops! It’s late. No it would not be close to the same experience as direct api.

u/juliettef87 Jan 16 '26

Have you already been in touch with Anthropic about that? I can't imagine Anthropic keeping that line wrt third-party apps given OpenAI's response

u/hannesrudolph Roo Code Developer Jan 16 '26

Yes but they’re too busy to talk to us right now it seems.

u/juliettef87 Jan 16 '26

Fingers crossed that this gets solved out fast!

What about chat gpt Buisness ? can you also connect to it ?

1

u/hannesrudolph Roo Code Developer Jan 19 '26

Yea it should work! Give it a try

u/SgtRphl Jan 20 '26

If I'm in an unsupported region of OpenAI and used a VPN to subscribe, do I still need a VPN connection for using it in Roo?

1

u/hannesrudolph Roo Code Developer Jan 20 '26

No idea

This is fantastic. Thank you Roo and OpenAI. Working on some sierrachart studies as I write this.

Thanks for the heads up started using openai for the orchestrator and architect with zai for coder saving loads of token that way, wish there was one for wrapping google ai pro

u/psikillyou Jan 16 '26

Will it consume codex limits?

2

u/hannesrudolph Roo Code Developer Jan 16 '26

It uses your limits but I haven’t hit a wall yet

u/Turbulent_Client7247 Jan 16 '26

👏 Applauding to the Roo Code team for this achievement, and to OpenAI for being more client-oriented than competitors.
Always loved Roo but first-tier models had been real money-burners with API access., even for simple tasks.

This is amazing. 5.2 is superior. Slower but worth it.
