- Zed now supports OpenAI's Codex via the Agent Client Protocol (ACP), joining other integrations like Claude Code and Gemini CLI.
- ACP integrations in Zed focus on improving UI and workflow without handling billing or data, with prompts not touching Zed's servers.
- Different agents have varying capabilities, such as model switching and conversation persistence, with ACP designed to accommodate these differences.
- Codex's approach to running terminal commands differs from other agents, affecting features like pseudoterminal (PTY) mode and interactivity.
- Zed and the community are shifting focus from building ACP adapters to collaborating on the protocol's future, with adoption by various editors.
- Zed is available for macOS, Windows, and Linux, and the team is hiring for roles in software development.
