Can I just set an environment variable or something? I'd prefer that.

Hi @lswank thanks for asking. We do not currently support 1P BYOK. Would love to hear more about your use case!
Use case is I want to use it without the waiting list. After all, the tokens still go through you. I know it's currently limited because of capacity and whatever other reason your PM decided. (Probably to not make Finance and DevOps cry.)
My use case for this would be working in a VM without giving it a way to identify me. That way, even if the VM gets compromised, it might still protect my real identity from being linked to the project I'm working on.
I'm not sure API keys can't be used to figure out the owner's identity, but I couldn't find a way. (Unlike with OpenAI API keys.) If it was more important to me, I'd write some sort of proxy so auth would be done outside of the VM.
