Zed

Zed is a code editor built from the ground up (not forked from VS Code) for raw editing and rendering speed, with AI collaboration — chat, inline edits, and agentic multi-step changes — designed in as a core feature rather than bolted on through extensions.

Why it stands out

• Genuinely fast, thanks to a native, GPU-accelerated architecture rather than an Electron/VS Code fork.
• Multi-agent and multi-model support built into the core editor, not a single locked-in provider.
• Open source, with a transparent, community-visible development process.

Good for

Developers who want AI-assisted editing without giving up editor performance, or who prefer an open-source alternative to Electron-based AI editors.
