Hi developer,

I'm curious about how do I specify different OpenAI_API_KEYs to different agent class? The issue is that I have specific key for computer-use-preview agent class, which I wish to separate against the key used for WebSearchTool agent class.

Thank you for your help!

I believe you could just pass a model instance to the agent.

import os
from openai import AsyncOpenAI
from agents import Agent, OpenAIChatCompletionsModel


model = OpenAIChatCompletionsModel(
    model=os.getenv('OPENAI_MODEL_ID', 'gpt-4o-mini'),
    openai_client=AsyncOpenAI(
        base_url=os.getenv('OPENAI_BASE_URL', 'https://api.openai.com/v1'),
        api_key=os.environ['OPENAI_API_KEY']
    )
)

agent = Agent(
    name='Assistant',
    instructions='You are a helpful assistant',
    model=model
)

Yes but remember to make sure that different keys must belong to the same organization, otherwise the data retention might not work, items stored in previous conversation might not be found by following agents...
