# OpenAI Authentication
Qwen Code CLI supports OpenAI authentication for users who want to use OpenAI models instead of Google's Gemini models.
## Authentication Methods
### 1. Interactive Authentication (Recommended)
When you first run the CLI and select OpenAI as your authentication method, you'll be prompted to enter:
- **API Key**: Your OpenAI API key from [https://platform.openai.com/api-keys](https://platform.openai.com/api-keys)
- **Base URL**: The base URL for OpenAI API (defaults to `https://api.openai.com/v1`)
- **Model**: The OpenAI model to use (defaults to `gpt-4o`)
The CLI will guide you through each field:
1. Enter your API key and press Enter
2. Review/modify the base URL and press Enter
3. Review/modify the model name and press Enter
**Note**: You can paste your API key directly - the CLI supports paste functionality and will display the full key for verification.
### 2. Command Line Arguments
You can also provide the OpenAI credentials via command line arguments:
```bash
# Basic usage with API key
qwen-code --openai-api-key "your-api-key-here"
# With custom base URL
qwen-code --openai-api-key "your-api-key-here" --openai-base-url "https://your-custom-endpoint.com/v1"
# With custom model
qwen-code --openai-api-key "your-api-key-here" --model "gpt-4-turbo"
```
### 3. Environment Variables
Set the following environment variables in your shell or `.env` file:
```bash
export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
export OPENAI_BASE_URL="https://api.openai.com/v1" # Optional, defaults to this value
export OPENAI_MODEL="gpt-4o" # Optional, defaults to gpt-4o
```
## Supported Models
The CLI supports all OpenAI models that are available through the OpenAI API, including:
- `gpt-4o` (default)
- `gpt-4o-mini`
- `gpt-4-turbo`
- `gpt-4`
- `gpt-3.5-turbo`
- And other available models
## Custom Endpoints
You can use custom endpoints by setting the `OPENAI_BASE_URL` environment variable or using the `--openai-base-url` command line argument. This is useful for:
- Using Azure OpenAI
- Using other OpenAI-compatible APIs
- Using local OpenAI-compatible servers
## Switching Authentication Methods
To switch between authentication methods, use the `/auth` command in the CLI interface.
## Security Notes
- API keys are stored in memory during the session
- For persistent storage, use environment variables or `.env` files
- Never commit API keys to version control
- The CLI displays API keys in plain text for verification - ensure your terminal is secure
