It seem that someone already published different quanta versions of the model [1] . This can be used to define Modelfile to use with ollama locally. But I am not sure that zed allows changing the endpoint of this feature yet (ever). Of course it is opeb source and you can change it but then you will need to build it.

Hey elashri, Zed co-founder here.

There currently is no official way of configuring Zed to use Ollama for edit prediction, but I would love to accept a pull request that implements it!

It should be relatively straightforward and we're happy to accept contributions here: this has been something I wanted to experiment with for a while but didn't get around to for the launch.

You do not need debugging if you have AI.

Genuinely not sure whether you are joking or not. The thing is, I do not need a debugger very often, but when I need it, I need it.

I also have no idea what kind of code people "write" that they can rely on A.I. so much. I have found these tools helpful for gathering info but not for much more, yet.

If you fight the system you're not going to have a good time. For incremental improvements (faster grep, mixed-language syntax highlighting) you get the benefits for free. You don't have to change anything about the way you work. Revolutionary/disruptive technologies are not like that. They demand that the world adapts to them. They demand you change. Almost anywhere you can go by foot you can get faster with a horse…

We paved the world and now it’s fucked — progress is not always a good thing, in this case it was a mistake that we and our descendants will continue to pay the price for.

Of all the AI aids, autocomplete is my least favourite, at least from my experience with Cursor anyway.

It takes me longer to review the autocomplete (I ain't yoloing it in) than it would have done to type the damn thing out. Loving Cursor's cmd+k workflow though, very productive.

It's hard to care about AI features when a year later I still can't even get acceptable font rendering: https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/7992

Out of the 55,000 people who have starred the repo (and countless others who have downloaded Zed without starring the repo), only 184 people have upvoted that issue.

If font rendering on a text editor is not a priority I wonder what is. It seems to be AI.

I tried CoPilot a while and my biggest gripe was tab for accepting the suggestion. I very often got a ton of AI garbage when I was just trying to indent some code. Tab just doesn't seem like the proper interface for something like this.

Hey! Zed founder here. We totally agree with this and that's why Zed will switch the keybinding for accepting an edit prediction to `alt-tab` when the cursor is in the leading whitespace of a line. This way you can keep using `tab` for indenting in that situation. Also, when there's both an edit prediction and and LSP completion, Zed switches the keybinding to `alt-tab` to prevent the conflict with accepting an LSP c…

Hi. Could you explain how you plan to make money with the model while open-sourcing it?

It seems contradicting to me.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ You can also sort the issues and see for yourself what the community thinks should be a priority: https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20...

I think the takeaway here is not that everyone related to Zed thinks AI should be prioritized over essential features, but that either most developers don't care that much about font rendering or (more likely) most developers have high DPI monitors these days, so this particular bug is just a non-issue for most developers... or else more developers would have upvoted this issue.

I have one low-DPI monitor at home, so I am curious to see this issue for myself. If it looks bad when I get back from vacation in a little over a week, maybe I'll add a thumbs-up to that issue, but low-DPI font rendering isn't the reason I haven't switched to Zed. I haven't switched to Zed because of the reasons mentioned here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42818890

If those issues were resolved, I would probably just use Zed on high DPI monitors.

So, yes, for me, certain missing "AI"-related features are currently blocking me from switching to Zed. On the other hand, the community is upvoting plenty of non-AI things more than this particular font rendering bug. Unsurprisingly, different people have different priorities.
