Zed: High-performance AI Code Editor

For millions of years, humans have used tools to create things. We programmers have recently created some very useful tools for ourselves: large language models. So far, these futuristic tools have been accessible to programmers in one of three ways: Copy/pasting from a website Running in a terminal emulator Baked into a closed-source fork of an open-source fork of a web browser As of today, there is now a fourth option: Zed, the world’s fastest AI code editor. The entire Zed code editor is open source under GPL version 3, and scratch-built in Rust all the way down to handcrafted GPU shaders and OS graphics API calls. Zed's new AI capabilities are also open-source, just like the rest of the editor, so you can see exactly what the new Agent Panel is doing under the hood.
