In today's video we're going to learn how we can use Zed in combination with our very own locally hosted AI agent. This is a huge win for privacy since all the code we write stays on our machine. The way it should be.

A step-by-step walkthrough for setting up a local AI coding assistant in the Zed editor using LM Studio. Covers downloading and configuring LM Studio, loading a local model (Qwen 3.5 9B or Gemma), enabling the local LLM server, connecting it to Zed via API URL, and using it for code generation, documentation, and code explanation — all offline with no data leaving your machine. Also explains how to configure context length to avoid token errors.
