Zed now predicts your next edit with Zeta. Zeta is derived from Qwen2.5-Coder-7B, and is fully open source, including an open dataset.

What I appreciate about Zed is that it marches to the beat of its own drum... while there's @Windsurf, @Cursor , and other @VS Code -based editors out there, @Zed is built from the ground up to be a performant platform that's also easy to extend.


Zed's Edit Predictions takes a subtle but elegant approach:

When language server completions are visible, Zed won't preview the predicted edit until you press option or alt. As soon as you press the modifier, Zed previews the edit and hides the menu to enable an unobstructed review. On macOS, you can just hit tab to confirm, or back out by releasing option to restore the language server completions menu.

The Zed team also wasn't content to use an off-the-shelf LLM API; they fine-tuned their own model and made the dataset available on Hugging Face. I'd love to see more of this style approach to open source AI products!

This is the right path, and I’m really happy to see my favorite IDE moving forward! However, I’d be even happier if this functionality were implemented as an adapter for different LLMs. The current model performs poorly—I tried using it but ended up switching back to Copilot.
