We're moving Zed AI to token-based pricing. We still offer, and will always offer, multiple ways to use AI in Zed without paying us: use your own keys, or external agents like Claude Code via ACP. This lets us invest sustainably in the editor features that make Zed fast and reliable.

🚀 We just released Zed v0.204! We added support for Claude Code Plan mode, as well as all other permission modes. You can also now use Claude Code and Gemini CLI over SSH in Zed.

These developers believed in Zed enough to contribute their time and expertise for months. We're honored they're now our colleagues: zed.dev/blog/hired-t...

In our latest Zed Decoded episode Richard talks to @notpeter.bsky.social and Finn about how to become an open source contributor. Finn shares his journey from first PR to joining the team, plus practical advice on making contributions that actually get merged. youtu.be/I6SG--_WafM

Uhoh, we broke Zed's auto-updater. 🫣 If you're on v0.203.x or v0.204.x, you'll need to manually check for updates via the Command Palette→ "auto update: check" We've already shipped the fix - just need you to unbox the latest, shiniest version of Zed manually this time.

🚀 We just released Zed v0.203! Is this you?! 👀

We did the thing. zed.dev/blog/claude-...

This week, we announced ACP, an open-source protocol that standardizes communication between clients and coding agents, but we also released Zed v0.201! Let's dive into some of the highlights! agentclientprotocol.com/overview/int...

🚀 New in Zed: Bring your own agent, starting with Gemini CLI (@developers.google.com). → Try Gemini CLI with full code context in Zed → Build & run multiple agents in your editor → Powered by the new Agent Client Protocol (ACP) Learn more:

🚀 We just released Zed v0.200! In a previous release, we added the `--diff` flag to the Zed CLI. Now, you can compare two files directly from the project panel, via `Compare marked files`.

Zed has raised a $32M Series B, led by Sequoia Capital. We’re full speed ahead making a great editor, but there’s a bigger picture: we're building DeltaDB, a new kind of database for collaborative coding. Early days, but the vision is clear: zed.dev/blog/sequoia...

Zed for Windows: What’s taking so long?! From rendering to crash reporting, we’ve been heads down fixing the tricky parts. Here’s what we’ve been up to → zed.dev/blog/windows...

🚀 We just released Zed v0.199! For users of models that OpenAI provides, we've improved prompt caching and added vision support for `gpt-5`, `gpt-5-mini`, and `gpt-5-nano`.

We just published patches for stable (v0.198.3) and preview (v0.199.1), which include support for OpenAI's GPT-5, for those bringing their own API keys in Zed.

🚀 We just released Zed v0.198! The Git panel menu now includes initial support to stash and pop changes.

Anthropic (@AnthropicAI) just announced Claude Opus 4.1 earlier today, and our CI just finished publishing new stable and preview patches to include it! Careful when grabbing, these are hot! 🔥 zed.dev/releases

🚀 We just released Zed v0.197! If the Debug Adapter for your language supports it, you can now configure breakpoints such that the debugger only stops on them based on variable access patterns: Read, Write, Read & Write. This is useful for tracking down unexpected changes to your application state.

🔍 Need to quickly spot the differences between two snippets of code? Try `editor: diff clipboard with selection`, coming to stable in v0.197, this Wednesday.

🚀 We just released Zed v0.196! Our debugger now includes a memory view!

We use Zed to run our meetings, using our collaboration tooling. We organize our projects via Markdown in our channel notes. Here, we are prioritizing work we are doing for Zed's official Windows support. www.windowswen.com

Zed has a brand new visual keymap editor coming to Stable (v0.196) this coming Wednesday. Discover and edit bindings faster and easier than ever before!

🚀 We just released Zed v0.195! Zed now supports models from the xAI provider, such as Grok 4.

Windows when, you ask? Windows real soon... In the meantime: www.windowswen.com

🚀 Zed v0.194 is out! Today's release packs a doozy with many quality-of-life improvements. When you perform a buffer or project search using regular expressions, Zed now reports the exact error in the regex pattern.

We've been hard at work debugging the debugger, patching the panels and editing the Zeditor and another Zednesday means another Zed release. Zed v0.193 is out! 🚀

Zed Decoded is back! In this episode Agus, Antonio, and Richard dive into how we built the Agent Panel. Join us in the technical weeds as they take us through the journey from 'Assistant One' (now Text Threads) to the Agent Panel. youtu.be/24rAEgYd6jw

You can now spin up containerized environments for each of your agent threads in Zed using @dagger.io 😎

Alberto Fortin went all-in on AI for a major infrastructure rebuild. Six months later: working system, complete architectural nightmare. He'll share what went wrong, how he found balance, and whether Claude Opus 4 could've avoided the mess. Join us live on Tuesday: zed.dev/agentic-engi...

🚀 Zed v0.192 is out! Web developers frequently need to see colors used in their websites. Zed now displays color previews in a variety of ways, via `lsp_document_colors`, with `inlay`, `border`, or `background` options.

Next up in our Agentic Engineering series we have ‪‪@kentcdodds.com‬ – he is joining us to demonstrate how to level up your AI workflows with MCPs. Join us this Thursday at 1pm EST: zed.dev/agentic-engi...

Zed's native debugger isn't the only thing we shipped during this week's release. Let's check out some of the other highlights of v0.191. We added a `--diff` flag to the `zed` CLI tool:

The desire for a debugger in Zed grew into our most upvoted issue ever. Today, the issue has accumulated 2143 👍s. Nothing but respect to `console.log()` warriors, but engineers clearly wanted to be able to line-by-line step through their software and inspect state.

After hearing this a lot: "no debugger = no Zed"—we’re excited to share that Zed's Debugger has finally launched! 🎉 zed.dev/debugger

See Mitchell's AI coding workflow in action! Tomorrow at 3pm EST, we're exploring his recent PRs and discussing where agentic engineering is headed—the wins, the gaps, and the messy middle. Live Q&A included! Sign up or add the event directly to your calendar: zed.dev/agentic-engi...

Tired of hearing overblown hype like "AI will replace all engineers" or cynicism like "AI code is garbage"? Us too! That’s why we're tuning out the noise and exploring what we can get out of AI right now – with our new series – Agentic Engineering!

🚀 Zed v0.190 is out! By popular request, Vim mode support has been added to the agent panel:

This Quality Week, we closed 54 issues, addressing bugs upvoted (👍) a total of 134 times! What a week! 🎉 The team moved fast to address as many bugs and user papercuts as we could. Next week, we are back to polishing the debugger!

🚀 Zed v0.189 is out! Before we get into the changes, we wanted to mention that the Zed AI team is currently at AI Engineer World's Fair (@aidotengineer). Feel free to stop by the booth, say hello, and check out a demo of the agent panel!

🚀 Zed v0.188 is out! Zed can now parse and load host names from the SSH config. To disable this behavior, use `"read_ssh_config": false` in your `settings.json` file.

🚀 Zed v0.187 is out! A minimap has been added to Zed, closing out one of our more popular issues with nearly 350 👍s! To enable the minimap, use `"minimap": {"show": "always"}` in your settings. Thank you, Evan Simkowitz!

We just hit 60k GitHub ⭐s! 🎉
