Introducing Zed AI, in collaboration with @anthropicAI.

Zed AI brings LLMs directly into your editor with an extensible, text-centric approach.

We're also piloting @anthropicAI's new Fast Edit mode for Claude 3.5 Sonnet with a small set of Zed users.

Zed's assistant panel isn't a typical chat interface.

It's a full-fledged text editor exposing the entire LLM interaction.

Slash commands (/file, /terminal, /tab) integrate context, but every token is visible and editable.

Transparency and control, not magic.

Zed is officially in public beta for macOS! We've been building Zed in Zed for a year now, and here's what we're loving most about it... 🧵 First: speed. From the beginning, we were determined to do whatever it took to make Zed fast. That's why we chose Rust, wrote our own GPU-accelerated UI framework, and created the Tree-sitter parsing framework. The result is 🚀.

On a 120Hz display, apps have ~8ms to render each frame without introducing jank. In Electron, this felt impossible to achieve. So to create Zed, we took inspiration from video games and built our own UI framework in Rust that targets modern graphics hardware: GPUI. 🧵... Rounded rectangles are a fundamental building block of user interfaces. Zed uses Signed Distance Functions to draw them in parallel entirely on the GPU.
