Zed

Zed is a high-performance open-source Rust-based code editor with native Claude AI integration for fast, privacy-conscious development.

Zed is built entirely in Rust, making it significantly faster than Electron-based editors like VS Code and Cursor, with near-instant startup times and ultra-smooth editing performance. It integrates Zed AI powered by Anthropics Claude model directly into the editing experience, allowing developers to access AI assistance without leaving their flow state. Zed supports bringing your own API keys for full control over AI costs and model selection. The core editor is completely free and open source, with hosted AI features optionally available through API key usage.
