Overview
Zed is a high-performance, collaborative code editor built from scratch in Rust, leveraging multiple CPU cores and GPUs for speed and efficiency. It offers native support for debugging across multiple programming languages using the Debug Adapter Protocol (DAP). Zed integrates Large Language Models (LLMs) into the workflow to generate, transform, and analyze code. Agentic editing allows users to delegate tasks to the AI agent, track progress, and review changes. Features include native Git support for staging, committing, pulling, pushing, and viewing diffs. The editor also provides intelligent code completion through its Zeta open-source, open-data language model. Zed is designed for remote development, enabling the UI to run locally while the codebase operates on a remote server. This architecture enhances performance and reduces local resource consumption. The core value proposition is to provide a fast, collaborative, and AI-enhanced coding experience.
