Zed now predicts your next edit with Zeta. Zeta is derived from Qwen2.5-Coder-7B, and is fully open source, including an https://huggingface.co/datasets/zed-industries/zeta.
What I appreciate about Zed is that it marches to the beat of its own drum... while there's @Windsurf, @Cursor , and other @VS Code -based editors out there, @Zed is built from the ground up to be a performant platform that's also easy to extend.
Zed's Edit Predictions takes a subtle but elegant approach:
When language server completions are visible, Zed won't preview the predicted edit until you press option or alt. As soon as you press the modifier, Zed previews the edit and hides the menu to enable an unobstructed review. On macOS, you can just hit tab to confirm, or back out by releasing option to restore the language server completions menu.
The Zed team also wasn't content to use an off-the-shelf LLM API; they fine-tuned their own model and made the dataset available on Hugging Face. I'd love to see more of this style approach to open source AI products!

Who hunted Zeta?
Zeta was hunted by Chris Messina. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
