Zed
by Zed Industries
FreemiumHigh-performance code editor with built-in AI assistance and real-time collaboration
Overview
Zed is a high-performance code editor built from the ground up in Rust by the creators of Atom and Tree-sitter. It combines blazing-fast performance with built-in AI assistance and real-time multiplayer collaboration, positioning itself as the next evolution of code editors for modern development teams.
Zed's AI features include an inline assistant that can generate, transform, and explain code using models like Claude and GPT-4o. The editor also supports AI-powered agentic workflows through its Agent Panel. What truly differentiates Zed is its speed — it opens instantly, handles massive files without lag, and provides sub-millisecond keystroke latency.
Zed is designed for developers who value performance and want AI assistance integrated into a lightweight, native editor rather than the Electron-based alternatives. It runs on macOS and Linux, with Windows support in development.
