Check Existing Issues

I have searched for all existing open AND closed issues and discussions for similar requests. I have found none that is comparable to my request.

Verify Feature Scope

I have read through and understood the scope definition for feature requests in the Issues section. I believe my feature request meets the definition and belongs in the Issues section instead of the Discussions.

Problem Description

Hello, I can see its better than openAI in many ways.

I noticed few things if we run this for our team, maybe 5 users.

Firebase Auth:
API Rate limit

Desired Solution you'd like

Firebase Auth: We already have workspace using firebase authentication thats good enough for approved users to login - If we can use same login in here?
i think it will be easy, useful & much better.
API rate limit, A new users once approved can use API key to use our models in ide or api.
I m not sure about default limits.
But i think it will be nice if we throttle users to xx requests per second & yy request per day.

Also ability to create a group maybe? with higher limits.

Reason: If we have 5 memebers in our team we gave them access they will use our api for work - At same time can u use for other work and use actually unlimited request & it will cause several severe issues.

So my point is , if we can use Firebase authentication & predefined limits on using API .
