Recent stories
Zed v1.8 added agent.terminal_init_command plus Git, diff, and multi-cursor performance work. The update makes new agent terminal threads easier to bootstrap with project-specific setup and lowers editor overhead.
Zed v1.3.5 adds Terminal Threads, turning CLI agents and long-running shell jobs into managed sidebar threads. Zed says this becomes the main path for Claude Code inside the editor as older subscription sign-in flows change.
Zed users can now sign in with a ChatGPT subscription and use the same OpenAI limits they get in Codex, alongside ACP, Codex CLI, or API-key flows. It removes a separate billing step for teams switching between editor-native and Codex-native workflows.
Zed v1.1 introduced a Business plan with org-wide model controls, spend tracking, and enforceable data policies, alongside BYOK or Zed-hosted AI. Admins can use it to govern agent features and model access centrally instead of per-user settings.
