What it is
Zed is a high-performance open-source editor written in Rust, and its Agent Panel turns it into a full AI coding workspace backed by Anthropic’s Claude models.
Install / sign up
Zed started life as a GPU-accelerated successor to Atom, built by the same team. In 2025 it shipped the Agent Panel, Edit Predictions, and multiplayer collaboration, putting it in direct competition with Cursor and Copilot while staying fully open source under a GPL/Apache mix.
First session
Zed is a native desktop editor (macOS, Linux, Windows preview) that renders through its own GPUI toolkit. The Agent Panel is a chat pane wired into your workspace: it can read files, run shell commands, and apply multi-file edits through tool calls. Edit Predictions is an inline model (Zeta) that proposes the next edit as you type. Collaboration mode shares buffers and terminals in real time.
Everyday workflows
Open a project folder, then hit cmd-? (or ctrl-?) to toggle the Agent Panel. Pick a model — Claude Sonnet is the default — and type a request. The agent will propose a diff you can accept hunk-by-hunk.
Gotchas and tips
The built-in Zed hosted plan gives you a monthly Claude quota; heavy users should plug in their own API key under Settings ’ AI to avoid throttling. Rules files (.rules at the project root) steer the agent — keep them short and specific.
Who it’s for
Windows support is still preview, so expect rough edges around PTY and file watching. Collaboration requires everyone to be signed in and on the same Zed version.
