- Zed is introduced as the world’s fastest AI code editor, built in Rust and open-source under GPL version 3.
- The Agent Panel in Zed allows users to interact with AI agents to perform tasks like code changes, queries, and more without prior setup.
- Zed ensures privacy and security by default, not harvesting user data and requiring confirmation for irreversible actions.
- Users can choose from various language models for the agent, including custom models via Ollama, and customize tool access.
- Zed offers free usage without AI features, with optional paid plans for AI usage (50 prompts/month free, 500 prompts/month for $20).
- The editor supports macOS and Linux currently, with a Windows stable release planned for 2025.
- Future updates include a debugger release, improved AI collaboration, and Windows support.
