Zed
GPL-3.0 GPU-accelerated editor with first-party agents
AI Agents / Coding Agents · GPL-3.0 · 89.7k
What's Good
GPL-3.0 (LICENSE-GPL). Native macOS, Linux, and Windows. Multiplayer editing, language servers, first-party agent features in the editor. Download from zed.dev/download or a package manager.
The Catch
GPL-3.0 is copyleft, not MIT. Hosted agent features that talk to Zed's models are a product on top of the editor — this review does not invent a Cloud free tier. Web is not shipped.
Verdict
The fast open editor. GPL-3.0, agents in-process, no invented Cloud giveaway.
