This week at Zed saw significant advancements across multiple fronts, including enhancements to the semantic index's throughput and consistency, and the introduction of an inline assistant as part of their AI endeavors. Key improvements included adjustments to the batching function to optimize token counts and the implementation of an embeddings cache, which collectively reduced redundant OpenAI requests and improved engine efficiency. The team also focused on UI infrastructure changes, with Nate and others working on integrating Tailwind and preparing for substantial UI updates, while Max developed features for channel notes to enhance connectivity. Additionally, efforts were made to improve search functionality and virtual environment activation in Python, and the team continued to explore web development tools and experimented with multiple language servers to enhance user experience. These developments are part of Zed's broader strategy to refine its offerings and expand its semantic and AI capabilities, while also inviting new talent to join their innovative team.
