Zed
TrendingNext-generation AI code editor built for speed and agentic workflows
Ikhtisar
Zed is a next-generation code editor built from scratch in Rust for exceptional performance, designed from the ground up to support modern AI-powered and agentic coding workflows. Unlike traditional editors that bolt AI features on top of existing architectures, Zed integrates AI as a first-class citizen with capabilities like unlimited edit predictions that show suggested code changes as you type, inline AI assists that can generate, refactor, or explain code without leaving the editor, and agentic workflows where the AI can autonomously navigate your codebase, make multi-file edits, run tests, and iterate on solutions. The Rust-based foundation delivers startup times under 100 milliseconds and buttery-smooth performance even with large projects containing hundreds of thousands of lines of code, significantly outperforming Electron-based editors like VS Code and Cursor in responsiveness benchmarks. Zed supports connecting to any AI model provider, giving developers the freedom to use Claude, GPT-4, Gemini, or local models like Ollama without being locked into a single provider. The editor features real-time collaboration built-in, allowing multiple developers to edit the same file simultaneously with conflict-free merging, making it ideal for pair programming and team-based development. Zed is free and open source, with an optional Pro plan at $10 per month that includes a generous monthly token allowance for AI features. Usage beyond the included tokens is billed at competitive pay-as-you-go rates. For developers frustrated with the sluggishness of existing editors and seeking a truly modern, AI-native coding environment, Zed offers a compelling combination of raw speed, intelligent AI integration, and model flexibility that competes with premium tools like Cursor and GitHub Copilot while maintaining the freedom and performance that power users demand.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Zed Editor?
Zed is a high-performance code editor built in Rust with AI features, multiplayer collaboration, and fast startup times.
Is Zed Editor free?
Yes, Zed is open source and free to use. It is available for macOS and Linux with Windows support developing.
Zed vs VS Code?
Zed offers better performance and built-in collaboration. VS Code has a larger extension ecosystem. Zed suits performance-focused developers.
Does Zed have AI features?
Yes, Zed includes AI-powered code assistance and is integrating more AI features for code generation and explanation.
Is Zed really faster than VS Code?
Yes, Zed is built in Rust for performance, with faster startup, file opening, and large file handling compared to VS Code.
Does Zed support extensions?
Zed is building its extension system. It currently has fewer extensions than VS Code but the ecosystem is growing.
Which AI models can Zed connect to?
Zed supports several AI providers out of the box, including Anthropic Claude, OpenAI models, and locally running models through Ollama, so developers can pick per task or keep code inside their own hardware when privacy matters. The Pro plan at $10 per month includes a monthly token allowance, and usage beyond that is billed based on consumption.
How much is Zed Pro per month?
Zed Pro costs $10 per month and includes a generous monthly token allowance for AI features, with usage beyond the allowance billed at competitive pay-as-you-go rates. The editor itself stays free and open source.
Can Zed use local models like Ollama?
Yes. Zed connects to any AI model provider, so developers can switch between Claude, GPT-4, and Gemini or run local models through Ollama without provider lock-in.
Does Zed support pair programming?
Yes. Real-time collaboration is built in, letting multiple developers edit the same file simultaneously with conflict-free merging, which suits pair programming and team-based development.
Can Zed agents edit multiple files at once?
Yes. Agentic workflows let the AI autonomously navigate the codebase, make multi-file edits, run tests, and iterate on solutions, complementing inline edit predictions that show suggested changes as you type.
Is Zed open source?
Yes. Zed is free and open source with full code auditability, built from scratch in Rust, and the optional Pro plan at $10 per month only adds AI capacity on top of the free core.
