Overview
Zed is a blazing-fast, open-source code editor built by the original creators of Atom and Tree-sitter. It is engineered from the ground up for speed, using a GPU-accelerated rendering engine (GPUI) and a Rust-based architecture to deliver an editing experience that feels instant, even on massive codebases.
Beyond raw performance, Zed is designed as a multiplayer environment for collaborative software development. It features real-time pair programming, shared cursors, and integrated AI assistance that can be used as an optional layer on top of the core editor. The project also includes Delta, a multiplayer environment for coding with agents, powered by DeltaDB.
Developers love Zed for its combination of speed, modern architecture, and collaborative features. It offers a clean, distraction-free interface while providing powerful tools for both solo and team-based development workflows.
