Zed 1.0

High-performance, open source, multiplayer code editor

Overview

What it is

Zed is a next-generation code editor designed for high-performance collaboration with humans and AI.

Intent

I need it when

Debug code across multiple programming languages efficiently

Zed includes a native debugger built on the Debug Adapter Protocol (DAP) with first-class support for debugging across 50+ programming languages without manual configuration.

Collaborate with teammates in real-time on shared code

Zed provides native multiplayer collaboration features allowing developers to chat with teammates, code together, and share screens and projects within the editor without external tools.

Integrate AI assistance into daily coding workflow without switching tools

Zed supports agentic editing with parallel agents, inline code transformation via LLMs, edit prediction powered by Zeta2 open-weight model, and integration with any LLM provider (Claude, GPT, Deepseek, etc.) or external agents via API keys.

Manage Git operations and version control within the editor

Zed provides first-class native Git support for staging, committing, pulling, pushing, viewing diffs, and other Git operations directly in the editor interface.

Write code faster with minimal latency and high-performance editing

Zed is written from scratch in Rust to leverage multiple CPU cores and GPU, delivering blazing-fast performance for typing, navigation, and UI interactions. Users report significantly faster boot time and lower typing latency compared to VS Code.

Drop

Not a fit when

  • User requires offline-only development without any cloud connectivity for AI features
  • Team needs SSO, SAML, or SCIM authentication (currently not available in Business plan)
  • Developer prefers traditional modal editors without Vim/Helix keybinding support
  • Project requires exclusive support for legacy programming languages not in Zed's 50+ language list
  • Organization mandates proprietary closed-source tooling only
