Sign in with ChatGPT is an OpenAI authentication option for third-party developers. Users log into an external app with their ChatGPT account, and the AI usage that the app generates is drawn from the user's own ChatGPT account instead of the developer's API key. Creators covering the announcement describe it as a way for users to bring their own ChatGPT tokens rather than paying for AI separately in each app.
It was reported alongside a relaunch of apps (formerly plugins) running natively inside ChatGPT. For developers, the main effect is that inference costs shift to the end user's plan, which removes the need to meter and fund API usage themselves. For users, it means one account and one subscription across multiple apps.
The material provided does not include technical documentation, supported plans, usage limits or exact launch date, so those details are unconfirmed. Developers should check OpenAI's platform documentation for integration steps and limits.
