Speed first\, AI second.
Zed is a code editor written in Rust by Atom's creators — GPU-accelerated\, genuinely fast\, with multiplayer collaboration and AI editing built in rather than bolted on.
Performance is the reason people switch: after a Rust-speed editor\, Electron-based ones feel sluggish. The free Personal tier includes 2\,000 accepted edit predictions and unlimited use with your own API keys\, which makes it genuinely usable without paying.
