| I'm personally looking forward to this change because I currently pay $20/month just to get edit prediction. I use Claude Code in my terminal for everything else. I do wish I could just pay for edit prediction at an even lower price, but I can understand why that's not an option. I'm curious if they have plans to improve edit prediction though. It's honestly kind of garbage compared to Cursor, and I don't think I'm being hyperbolic by calling it garbage. Most of the time it's suggestions aren't helpful, but the 10-20% of the time it is helpful is worth the cost of the subscription for me. |

| We have a significant investment underway in edit predictions. We hear you, more soon. |

| ▲ | sippeangelo 2 days ago | parent | next [-] | | This is the one thing keeping me from switching from Cursor. I much prefer Zed in every other way. Exciting! | | |
| ▲ | hombre_fatal 2 days ago | parent [-] | | Yeah, Cursor tab completion is basically in the realm of magical mind reading and might still be the most insane productivity demonstration of LLM tech in software. It obsoleted making Vim macros and multiline editing for example. Now you just make one change and the LLM can derive the rest; you just press tab. It's interesting that the Cursor team's first iteration is still better than anything I've seen in their competitors. It's been an amazing moat for a year(?) now. | | |
| ▲ | sippeangelo 2 days ago | parent | next [-] | | I agree. I wish they focused more on it. I'd love to be able to give it a few sentences of instructions to make it even more effective for me. It's so much more of a productivity boon than all the coding agent stuff ever was. | |

| The edit prediction model is open source https://huggingface.co/zed-industries/zeta It's based on qwen 2.5 coder 7B and you should be able to run it locally quite easily since it would only require about 8 GB of VRAM for the 8-bit version. Not sure if Zed supports this though, I'm not a Zed user myself. |

| I have never used Zed predictions but $20 for 500 prompts is quite a good deal. I use it mostly with Opus for some hard cases. |

| ▲ | typpilol 2 days ago | parent [-] | | 10 bucks on copilot and you get unlimited + unlimited gpt4.1 etc Copilot is the best value by far | | |
| ▲ | insane_dreamer 2 days ago | parent [-] | | How well does copilot edit prediction work vs Zed’s? | | |
| ▲ | debian3 2 days ago | parent [-] | | Still very poor. Not sure why they have so much trouble catching up. I would have expected them to by now. Cursor is still the best by far, followed by Windsurf (free by the way). | | |

| That's been my workflow also. Claude Code / OpenAI Codex most of the time, when I have to edit files Cursor's auto-complete is totally worth the $20. |
