I was just thinking this morning about how I think Zed should rethink their subscription because its a bit pricey if they're going to let you just use Claude Code. I am in the process of trying out Claude and figured just going to them for the subscriptions makes more sense.

I think Zed had a lot of good concepts where they could make paid AI benefits optional longer term. I like that you can join your devs to look at different code files and discuss them. I might still pay for Zed's subscription in order to support them long term regardless.

I'm still upset so many hosted models dont just let you use your subscription on things like Zed or JetBrains AI, what's the point of a monthly subscription if I can only use your LLM in a browser?

This is her another reason why CLI-based coding agents will win. Every editor out there trying to be the middle man between you and an AI provider is nuts.

Wouldn't the last step just be an API? That would allow direct integration from everywhere.

		There is one, developed by the Zed team in collaboration with Gemini. And Claude Code is also supported now. https://agentclientprotocol.com/overview/introduction

I'm pretty sure that's only while it's in preview, just like they were giving away model access before that was formally launched. Get it while it's hot.
