@evandotsh @mitchellh Recommend running with n-gram specualtive decoding (via vllm) for local deployments

@mitchellh Zeta2 (what powers Zed auto complete) is open weight huggingface.co/zed-industries…

I'm someone who still really likes tab complete models (though I use them far less than before, sure). It struck me today that local models are probably good enough nowadays for this. Surely folks are doing this but I can't find great resources. Anyone have any? M4 Max + Neovim.

@LeNooby09 @zeddotdev @ollama As soon as someone posts it! Experience may be rough without speculative decoding, however.

@zeddotdev seeing this on @ollama soon? 👀

Zeta2 is here. 30% better acceptance rate than Zeta1. 200x more training data, LSP-powered context, faster predictions, open weights. Try it now in Zed. We didn't just improve the model. We rebuilt the entire data pipeline behind it: zed.dev/blog/zeta2

Zed built its editor from scratch because performance is non-negotiable for a responsive IDE. When your product lives or dies by how fast it feels, inference has to be invisible. We're proud to partner with @zeddotdev as they build the editor of the future.

@leerob I think this goes beyond AI. I think Zed is similar in many ways, and I joined about a year ago when the company was first dipping its toes into AI. The "just a bunch of engineers" structure really feels like an antidote to Conway's law, where product > team/project

It's still a foreign feeling to work at a company that is entirely meritocratic and where titles don't really matter. Everyone ships and the best ideas win. This hasn't always been the case in my career. This is also due in part from hiring strong generalists. You could call this an "AI native company" possibly, and certainly heavy use of AI for all parts of knowledge work does make it easier for a single IC to ship something end-to-end, but it's probably something deeper culturally. To be clear, we *do* still have titles at Cursor, but I now understand why other companies have singular titles like "member of technical staff". And yes, to answer the obvious question, there is always *some* power structure. If a CEO asks for something it's different than a new hire. But leaders at Cursor don't devise a grand scheme in isolation and then emerge from the shadows like "Behold! The roadmap!". I think this also has tradeoffs (there is no perfect org structure) but it is refreshingly different from how I've worked prior in my career. I don't have a grand point to make here I'm just yapping 😂

@ThePrimeagen @grok why does JS-in-JS interpreter matter?

Things from todays stream: 1. honey does appear to have a JS-in-JS interpreter, which is violation of V3 rules... they should be disabled in Chrome extension store 2. honey most certainly filters out users with "test" 3. they most certainly use user points and other various metrics to either stand down or not. 4. they use adblock age as a means to block brand new users with standdown logic 5. i couldnt find much about the cookie stuffing stuff, but i did not pursue it at all. overall, they definitely are using user points, account age, and whether you are logged in to make determination about showing up, not respecting the stand down. they make it on specific companies too. seems VERY sus.

@thdxr Don't have a comparison so can't speak to there being more, but anecdotally I've definitely seen "I don't know Rust, so here's what claude did" PRs to Zed

the counter intuitive thing is this INCREASES the number of slop ai PRs

@valigo Zed!

Hear me out: fast native gui programs that don't ship the browser engine

@lil_poop__ @zeddotdev Make sure you are wiggling your mouse around and/or scrolling in both before measuring. We cache renders when you're not doing anything and so does electron (cursor) :)

Same project, same files opened. This is kind of impressive. @zeddotdev on Windows Beta

@__rgbx @zeddotdev `"auto_update": false` in your settings.json. Coincidentally the issue was this setting defaulting to false

@zeddotdev Can i permanently turn the updates off? Im happy with the current version.

Uhoh, we broke Zed's auto-updater. 🫣 If you're on v0.203.x or v0.204.x, you'll need to manually check for updates via the Command Palette→ "auto update: check" We've already shipped the fix - just need you to unbox the latest, shiniest version of Zed manually this time.

@jonahseguin Different goals :)

A chromium wrapper sold for $600M. A VSCode fork is valued at $10B. Yet you still want to build everything from scratch. Find the gap.

@ZachSents @zeddotdev Tailwind autocomplete is built in via the Tailwind LSP. zed.dev/docs/languages…

@zeddotdev How is zed’s ecosystem right now? Are there extensions for things like tailwind autocomplete?

You asked for it. A lot. So we built it.

@AttiSzeka @Riyaadh_Abr @zeddotdev Yes! zed.dev/blog/fastest-a…

@Riyaadh_Abr @zeddotdev I tried zed while it was still in beta. Does it have any good AI support now?

Cursor runs so slow on Omarchy. This has forced me to try out @zeddotdev , as I am not a fan of neovim. But Zed is has hooked me and I am not sure if I can switch back.

@SuperHumanEpoch @zeddotdev Unfortunately, `ty` from Astral and `pyrefly` from Facebook are not stable yet

@zeddotdev My only complain, for my use case, is the tight coupling with pyright. That should be an optional add-on, not the default, included tools for python. Setting up a different server or type checker and have Zed use it rather than pyright is very cumbersome.

Zed has a brand new visual keymap editor coming to Stable (v0.196) this coming Wednesday. Discover and edit bindings faster and easier than ever before!

@seatedro @zufichris_ Glad to see it's working in the VM. I've seen some issues around GPU stuff even on Linux VMs. Let us know if you run into anything!

spent 4 hours with claude yesterday nothing worked i got berated by gizmobly this morning and did it myself in an hour daily driver is now a nixos vm on macbook pro

@lucabaggi_ @zeddotdev @facebook x.com/Ben_kunkle13/s…

@zeddotdev @facebook Noice! Will you do the same (/have you done the same) for ty?

We landed a Zed extension for `pyrefly`, @facebook's new Python language server written in Rust. "Type check over 1.85 million lines of code per second" and receive other goodies, like go-to-definition.

@pmarangone_ @zeddotdev @facebook x.com/Ben_kunkle13/s…

@luccahuguet @zeddotdev @facebook We have ty! github.com/zed-extensions…. However, they state on their GitHub "ty is in preview and is not ready for production use." So we're not advising people to use it (yet) :)

@zeddotdev @facebook Do ty too

@ludwigABAP @tvanhens @zeddotdev While we don't support modifying the system prompt directly, we do support *rules files that can be included in every thread by default or on demand. The system prompt is also public (github.com/zed-industries…) so you can decide what to override with rules

@tvanhens very fair, I wonder if the @zeddotdev team is aware of this, maybe they'd react positively to this

this is what a real editor built from scratch with custom models for applying/editing files and AI tooling built in should look like

@Malix_Labs @ludwigABAP We're not! Collab is really about being able to jump into someone else's project, follow them around as they explain, and then start writing code alongside them. Voice chat and screen sharing just make sense as features, so you don't have to join the session in zed _and_ discord

@ludwigABAP Yes But they are still competing with discord I'm senile at this point but they should stop competing with discord
