Zed is a next-generation code editor designed for high-performance collaboration with humans and AI.
Launched on May 7th, 2025
From 2023 till now, I am witnessing lightning-fast native performance by expanding to the open-source community for prediction models, with handling routine developers' tasks has boosted my personal skill development and professional output for our clients from the Information Technology domain with AI collaboration. Kudos to all team members.
The fastested editor, ever. This editor brings back the fast era of notepad++, VI level editing with lots of modern software language server stuffs yet no bloating at all. The electron based stuffs made us believe that the standard was them - nope the standard of quality and speed is Zed, love this IDE.

Hey Product Hunt community! 👋
Today, we're launching Agentic Editing in our next-gen code editor, Zed.
With Agentic Editing, AI writes code and runs tests while you maintain full engagement and control. Follow along as your agent's edits stream into your codebase, or push long running tasks into the background and be notified when they're done.
After the changes are complete, leverage Zed's unique multibuffers to review and edit agent changes in a unified location - all with full IDE capabilities.
What makes Zed special:
Built in Rust from scratch - runs at 120+ FPS like a video game
Not a VS Code fork - we built the entire stack ourselves for performance and control
Designed for collaboration - optimized for humans and AI working together
Fully transparent - all our code, prompts, and evaluations are open source
You can try Agentic Editing in Zed today with our two-week trial (includes 150 prompts). Building our own stack took time, but it gives us the foundation to create something truly different in this new era of human-AI coding.
Check out our launch post for more details!
In Rust We Trust,
Nathan, Antonio, Max and the Zed team
@nathansobo How does Zed’s agent handle merge conflicts or overlapping edits from human collaborators?
There
@nathansobo Congrats!!

While there's some big news this week about @Windsurf, I wouldn't sleep on Zed's new Agentive Editing experience!
Zed's built from the ground up for speed, extensibility, and defensibility — by the team that built Electron and Atom!
This means that Microsoft can't come knocking and knee-cap popular extensions.
I recently launched Zed's Zeta edit prediction model — and am excited to see its next evolution delivered through Zed's agentic editing features.

@chrismessina I was going to comment asking for top reasons to try @Zed (as a @Windsurf) user. But this comment already describes the reasons perfectly.
@chrismessinaYepp an Atom was JS and Zed is rust. so M$ cant even make a longshot claim regarding conflict of interest. Not sure what windsurf is built on. But cursor should probably build their own ide soon.
BYO keys is awesome! I use cline atm for agenetic coding. How is the pricing? Its reported that github copilot agent will throttle sonnet 3.7 usage after 20min of heavy usage. How does Zed solve this? one flat monthly fee and unlimited use? or is there a metered cost as well? Thanks!

@sentry_co The pricing for Zed Pro is at https://zed.dev/pricing and if you scroll down on that page, it has details on how the usage works. If you have any questions beyond what's there, happy to answer them!
@rtfeldman Thanks. $0.05 per request. For sonnet 3.7 is that 1 to 1 token price or rebated?
