Zed
Zed is an open-source, Rust-based code editor created by the team behind Atom, Electron and Tree-sitter. Built to render at 120 FPS and leverage GPU acceleration, it emphasises speed, low-latency input and deep AI integration. Key features include:
- Agentic AI editing with built-in support for models such as Zeta, OpenAI and GitHub Copilot
- Real-time multiplayer collaboration using CRDTs for latency-tolerant editing
- Multibuffer workspace that lets developers compose editable excerpts from multiple files
- Native Git, debugger, REPL and remote-development support
Since its first public beta on March 15 2023, Zed has open-sourced its core under a tri-license (AGPL, GPL, Apache 2.0) and continues weekly releases, expanding to Linux and soon Windows. With a growing extensions ecosystem and public roadmap, Zed positions itself as the fast, AI-centric editor for the next decade of software craftsmanship.
