Thanks for clarifying a bit. I mostly understood it this way, but was also lead to believe (mostly through GPT inquiry) that creating a separate api key was best for a Claw. Less hiccups with connections was one reason I seem to recall, but I'm told that's BS. So I really have no idea. I thought it would also make my everyday chatGPT segregated from the Claw stuff, good for both privacy (Claw wouldn't know of anything the subscription account has learned about me, and vice versa), performance (something about "OAuth is like opening a browser and using...which is meant for more short term interactions). I now think this may all have been hallucinations, possibly nudged by OpenAIs lust for my money.
Truly don't know what I'm doing, but I already bought the tokens, so might as well use them.
Oh, another thing that's unclear to me is I don't see ANY web searches in my Usage stats on OpenAI. I asked my Claw about this, and asked if it was using the Brave web search thing I set up for it, and it said no... it may run some cron jobs which hit the web, but it hadn't itself used any. Totally confused by that, as it's clearly scraping some sites to give me my up-to-date reports of things.
I write this in hopes you'll relate, or clarify, or laugh.
