Zed

Zed is a code editor that can act as an MCP client, connecting to a remotely deployed MCP server and allowing users to chat with the editor to call the server's tools.

Z.ai's coding agent harness and AI programming workspace, offered through a desktop application, browser interface, and terminal agent. Its repository contains the client, backend services, shared React UI, Agent CLI, and runtime; the desktop client uses Electron, while the web and server components communicate through HTTP and WebSocket services. It supports remote project connections over SSH and WSL. The standalone command-line distribution combines a terminal UI, web server, and agent, and can run locally without Electron; the same command starts either the terminal interface or a browser-accessible web interface.

Zeron is a local control layer for coding agents, including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Grok, Hermes, and Pi. Each device runs a small engine that stores agent sessions locally by default, without requiring an account or network connection. Optional synchronization lets users start an agent on one device and follow or control it from another; an always-on machine such as a VPS can keep agents running after a laptop is closed. The Linux installer starts a daemon that persists across reboots, while macOS users can install the desktop release or build from source. Zeron is licensed under the MIT License. The videos refer to the project as Comet.

Zig is an open-source general-purpose programming language and toolchain created by Andrew Kelley and maintained by the Zig project. It emphasizes performance, predictable behavior, manual memory management, and compile-time metaprogramming, and is commonly used as a systems programming alternative to C.

OpenIDEA is a cross-platform desktop IDE with a Rust core and an IntelliJ IDEA–style keymap, tool windows, and search-everywhere workflow. It combines an editor, code insight, debugger, Git integration, terminal, database client, and HTTP client for more than 60 languages, and builds for macOS, Windows, and Linux. The project uses Tauri, is licensed under Apache 2.0, and is not affiliated with JetBrains.
