Zed, the GPU-accelerated code editor built in Rust, has reached version 1.0. Built from scratch using a custom UI framework (GPUI) that renders via GPU shaders, Zed now supports multi-platform development (Mac, Windows, Linux), Git integration, SSH remoting, a debugger, and AI-native features including parallel agents, edit predictions, and the Agent Client Protocol supporting Claude, Codex, OpenCode, and Cursor. The team is also launching Zed for Business with centralized billing and team management. Looking ahead, they are developing DeltaDB, a CRDT-based synchronization engine enabling humans and AI agents to share a consistent, character-level view of a codebase in real time.
