Zed

Zed is a code editor built from scratch in Rust, designed to make full use of multiple CPU cores and your GPU. The result is an editor that feels noticeably faster than most alternatives at startup, during file navigation, and while typing. It comes from the team behind Atom and Tree-sitter, and that experience shows in how carefully each feature is implemented.

The AI integration goes well beyond a chat sidebar. Zed lets you run multiple agents in parallel across different projects, delegate tasks and watch changes happen live, and bring in models from providers like Anthropic, OpenAI, or others via ACP. If you prefer a lighter touch, the inline assistant lets you send selected code directly to a model for transformation without breaking your flow. Edit prediction, powered by Zeta (an open-weight model), anticipates your next edit as you type. Tools like Aider take a similar agentic approach, but Zed does it natively inside the editor itself.

Collaboration is built in at a deep level. You can code with teammates in real time, share your screen and project, and chat without leaving the editor. Remote development is also supported: the UI runs locally while the actual codebase lives on a remote server.

Key capabilities include:

• Multibuffer editing: compose excerpts from across the codebase into one editable surface
• Native Git support: stage, commit, diff, pull, and push without plugins
• Debugger: built on the Debug Adapter Protocol with multi-language support
