Models from the open-models service appear next to your existing Zed models.

**Connection**

## Set up

**Text**

```text
Set up the open-models service in this coding agent for me. Read https://runinfra.ai/docs/tools-sdks/agent-setup.md and follow it step by step. If you cannot open links, run `npx -y @runinfra/cli@latest --help` and follow its FOR CODING AGENTS section. I approve sign-in in my browser. Before you install anything, change this agent's settings or spend money, show me the plan and wait for my yes.
```

Paste it into your agent, approve sign-in in your browser, and say yes to the plan. [All steps](https://www.rightnowai.co/docs/open-models/guides/coding-agents)

Zed support is in preview. Your agent asks before using it. Setup and undo can run inside Zed. Avoid changing provider settings while they run.

## Start

Fully quit Zed, load the private environment file with the command your agent gives you, then start `zed` from that same terminal. Repeat after key rotation. Never paste the key into your agent. In a new Agent chat, pick an open-models service model from the model selector.

## Undo

Ask your agent to disconnect the open-models service. Your other providers stay; the private environment file is removed. Restart Zed from a new terminal.
