Zed

What is Zed?#

Zed is a high-performance, multiplayer code editor built from scratch in Rust by the team that created Atom and Tree-sitter. It integrates AI as a first-class citizen: Agent Client Protocol lets Claude Agent, Codex, OpenCode, and others run inside the editor; edit prediction uses the open-weight Zeta2 model; and an inline assistant rewrites selections on demand. Zed ships for macOS, Linux, and Windows with native debugger, Git, and live collaboration.
