# OpenAI

> Configure Oryx to use OpenAI's GPT models

GPT-4.1 is powerful for complex agent tasks. If you need the best reasoning capabilities, OpenAI is a solid choice.

## Get your API key

### Step 1: Go to OpenAI Platform

Visit [platform.openai.com](https://platform.openai.com), click the settings icon in the top right, then go to **API keys** in the left sidebar.

### Step 3: Copy your key

Copy the key that appears. Keep it safe - you won't be able to see it again.

## Configure Oryx

Click the settings icon in Oryx, then click **USE** on the OpenAI card. Paste your API key and configure the settings based on your chosen model. For GPT-4.1, set **Context Window Size** to `128000` and check **Supports Images**. Click **Save**.
