Zed is a Rust-based code editor designed for speed and collaboration, positioning itself as an alternative to Cursor. It handles large codebases (100K+ lines) without lag through native performance and GPU acceleration. Unlike AI-heavy editors, Zed makes AI optional with Claude integration via ACP for focused suggestions. Its standout feature is built-in real-time multiplayer collaboration with channels, live cursors, and audio chat—similar to Google Docs for code. The editor prioritizes minimal UI, instant file/symbol search, and maintains performance on large repositories where other editors slow down.
