Hey, thanks for the report and the request ID.

xAI isn’t currently supported as a BYOK provider. Supported providers are OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Azure OpenAI, and AWS Bedrock. You can find the full list here: API Keys docs.

Since you’re on the Pro plan, you can use Grok models directly from the model picker without your own API key, they’re included in your plan.

Hi Dean, this is very surprising that it is not supported. And it is rather discriminating. It really takes minimal programming effort to add xAI on top of the existing supported APIs. I yesterday searched the forums and many users have this complain. When do you think you will add it?

I get that you’d like to use your own xAI API key. Unfortunately, we don’t have plans to add xAI as a BYOK provider anytime soon.

Adding new BYOK providers is a product team decision and depends on a lot of factors, not just integration effort. It also includes provider agreements, support, security, and overall priorities.

Grok models are already integrated and available to all Pro users directly in the model picker, so you don’t need your own API key. That’s our main way of providing access to Grok.
