Zed is committed to creating the world's best code editor by integrating first-class agentic AI, while also acknowledging the preferences of users who prefer not to use AI features. The platform has introduced a feature allowing users to disable AI in their settings, respecting concerns about data privacy, environmental impact, and philosophical objections to machine-generated code. Zed supports both local AI models and offers privacy-first alternatives for secure coding, ensuring code is not stored or used for training. Emphasizing user choice and control, Zed is open-source and adaptable, aiming to cater to developers who value traditional development tools and those who wish to explore AI's potential in software development. The company continues to enhance its AI experience and extend support to new environments, inviting interested developers to contribute to its growth.
