Zed launches Business plan with org-wide AI controls and $30 per-seat pricing

• Zed's v1.1 announcement pairs the editor's 1.1 release with a new Business plan, adding org-wide AI model controls, per-member spend tracking, and enforceable data policies.
• In Zed's Business thread, the company says admins can disable Zed-hosted models, Edit Predictions, and collaboration features across the whole org instead of leaving those choices to each developer.
• Pricing is straightforward: Zed's pricing post says Business costs $30 per seat per month, while teams can either bring their own provider keys or use Zed-hosted AI at provider cost plus 10%.
• The same v1.1 changelog thread also shipped smaller workflow changes, including code lens, a new Agentic panel layout, Helix-style jump-to-word navigation, and more models inside the agent.

You can jump from the Business product page to the launch post, then over to the preview release notes. Buried in that mix is a clean split between governance features for teams and UI changes that pull the editor a little closer to agent-first use.

The headline item in v1.1 is Zed for Business, which Zed describes in its launch post as the answer to companies that wanted broader rollout controls. The product page says the plan is built around centralized administration, not just shared billing, with org-level policy controls for AI usage and spend.

The features Zed called out across the launch thread and the Business intro are concrete:

• Org-wide controls for AI models
• Spend tracking per member
• Data policies that security teams can enforce
• Centralized governance for Zed usage across an organization

The most specific policy details came in Zed's admin-controls post, which says admins can disable three categories org-wide:

• Zed-hosted models
• Edit Predictions
• Collaboration features

That matters because Zed is exposing feature gating at the org level, not just exposing a billing SKU. According to the Business page, teams can decide which AI and collaboration features are allowed in their environment, then apply that policy centrally.

Zed kept the pricing model simple. According to Zed's pricing details, Business is $30 per seat per month.

Model access splits in two ways:

• Bring your own API keys, and the connection goes directly to your provider, per Zed's Business thread
• Use Zed-hosted AI, which Zed prices at provider cost plus 10%, per the hosted-AI pricing post

Zed also says in the launch post that team data stays under the customer's control in either setup.

The rest of v1.1 reads like a small editor release wrapped around a larger admin launch. In the preview release notes and the changelog thread, Zed grouped several changes that nudge the product toward agent-heavy workflows:

• A new Panel Layout switch with Classic and Agentic modes. Agentic moves the agent panel to the left and pushes the other panels to the right.
• LSP code lens support, enabled with "code_lens": "on", which puts language-server actions directly in the editor.
• vim: helix jump to word, which labels visible words with two-character jump targets.
• New agent model options, including DeepSeek-V4-Pro and DeepSeek-V4-Flash, plus OpenCode Go as a provider.

A day earlier, Zed's Conrad Irwin post framed the broader direction more bluntly: the company says it is building "the thing that comes after git," while still shipping very normal editor ergonomics like code lens in the same release cycle.
