Zed 1.0 Released

Zed 1.0 has been released. It's a Rust-based desktop editor that runs on Mac, Windows, and Linux, built on a GPU shader-centric UI and its own framework, GPUI. This 1.0 is presented not as a declaration of completion, but as a point where most developers can quickly become comfortable with it.

Over five years of expanding its feature scope, it has gained modern editor features like Git integration, SSH remoting, debugger, and rainbow brackets, and its codebase has grown to over 1 million lines.

AI features are also a core pillar.

• Support for running multiple agents in parallel
• edit predictions that suggest the next change at the keystroke level
• Connecting external agents such as Claude Agent, Codex, OpenCode, and Cursor via the Agent Client Protocol

They are also developing DeltaDB, a CRDT-based sync engine that tracks character-level changes, aiming to let multiple people and agents view the same codebase with a consistent perspective.

For enterprise use, Zed for Business was also announced. It will offer centralized billing, role-based access control, and team management features, and they stated that weekly releases will continue after launch.
