China's DeepSeek-R1 has created considerable buzz in the tech world, topping Apple's App Store and impacting U.S. tech shares, as highlighted by 9to5 Mac. The open-source large language model is praised for its chat app's popularity, but its effectiveness in coding can be personally assessed through Zed, a next-generation open-source code editor that supports R1 out-of-the-box. Users can easily integrate DeepSeek-R1 by downloading Zed, adding a DeepSeek API key, and selecting the desired model from a dropdown menu. Alternatively, the model can be run locally via Ollama and configured in Zed. Zed's support for DeepSeek models was expedited by a community contribution, emphasizing its collaborative nature. Zed, available on macOS and Linux, encourages users to explore its features and even invites passionate individuals to join their team.
