Changelog
November 12, 2026

Bring your own key (BYOK)

You can now bring your own key to Linear’s cloud coding agent and use your existing provider credits and negotiated rates.

Connect through OpenAI, Anthropic, AWS Bedrock, Azure OpenAI, Claude in Microsoft Foundry, OpenRouter, Vercel, or any gateway that supports the OpenAI Responses or Anthropic Messages API.

Your provider bills model usage directly, while sandbox runtime uses Linear AI credits. You’ll need an API key, not a ChatGPT or Claude subscription.

Workspace admins can enable BYOK in Settings. Available on all current plans. Learn more in our documentation.
