Zed is 1.0

Added: 2026-05-06

[00:00:00]Most editors are built on top of a web browser.

[00:00:03]Zed isn't.

[00:00:05]It's 100% Rust, built on GPUI, a custom UI framework we wrote [music] ourselves.

[00:00:12]GPU accelerated on every frame.

[00:00:15]Building that foundation took years, but it was worth it.

[00:00:20]1.0 is that editor, the one you've been waiting for, built for what's next.

[00:00:26]Because we own every layer of the stack, the editor responds at a speed most tools physically can't match. You have to try it to truly feel it.

[00:00:36]Over the last year, we've added Git tooling that lets you review diffs of all sizes, stage, [music] and commit them without leaving the editor.

[00:00:44]Powerful multi-buffer editing for working across multiple files in a single view.

[00:00:50]First-class remote development support, and a lot more.

[00:00:54]Everything you need to trust an editor with real work.

[00:00:57]I was very excited by the speed of it.

[00:00:59]Everything was very fast and snappy, and the multi-buffer and multi-cursors, oh, that's like my favorite part of the editor. And it's where your agents work, too.

[00:01:09]The AI experience in Zed is built around your workflow. [music] Agents can run in parallel across your code bases, spawning sub-agents as they go.

[00:01:19]Edit predictions surface instantly as you type.

[00:01:22]Run the best agents alongside each other, including Zed's own.

[00:01:27]Bring your API keys, or use Zed's hosted access to the latest models.

[00:01:32]That choice stays yours.

[00:01:35]I go between using usually cloud code and code CLI, and I love having the ability to have like a single unified interface to do it. And behind all of it, a community that made it possible.

[00:01:49]Zed is built by our users, for our users.

[00:01:52]The people using this editor are the same people shipping features, [music] fixing critical bugs, triaging issues, and pushing the foundation forward every week.

[00:02:02]>> [music] >> And we wouldn't be here without them.
