You're totally allowed to use Claude for OpenClaw and you're totally able to use Claude Code with non-Anthropic models. You must be referring to the fact that you have to use an API key and cannot use the auth intended for Claude-only products, which AFAIK is the same at every AI company (with Google destroying whole Google accounts for offenders most recently).


OpenAI and Github Copilot do explicitly allow this, so do many of the new/Chinese providers such as Synthetic, Z.ai, etc.

Anthropic is the outlier here, obviously they can limit their subscriptions as they want but it's a major disadvantage compared to their competitors.


How can I retrieve an API key from ChatGPT to use my subscription in other tools then? This seems like it could be useful.


> OpenAI ... explicitly allow this

Explicit means it's stated in OpenAI docs somewhere, but I can't find it. Link?

There's probably a better source somewhere but this is the one I had at hand.
