Delta is now in public beta. It’s a multiplayer environment for coding with agents and reviewing what they build, with every code change linked to the conversation that produced it.
Anyone can download it today on macOS, Linux, and Windows: delta.dev/download

Delta matched or beat Codex and Claude Code on accuracy with every frontier model we ran through Terminal-Bench, at 0.80–1.12× the cost per pass.
Time to pop the champagne, right? We're not done yet: delta.dev/blog/beyond-pass-r…

A single setting removes every AI-related feature in Zed.
Not a VS Code fork, btw...
Anybody have a VS Code fork with all of the extra features and AI stuff removed?
I want a minimal editor that doesn't spam me with requests to use a mediocre agent when I just want to quickly look at some code changes.

`disable_ai` in Zed turns off:
- The Agent Panel and agent threads
- Inline Assist in the editor and terminal
- Edit predictions
- The GitHub Copilot language server
- MCP servers
- The external agent registry
- AI commit message generation
- "Resolve with Agent" for merge conflicts
- AI review of branch diffs
- The Threads sidebar and panel layout picker
- AI icons and buttons in the status bar, dock, and toolbars
- AI keyboard shortcuts
- AI commands and menu items
If there's anything we missed, hit us with an issue or a PR.

Take a look at one of our workflows for building in Delta.
@nathansobo demos getting up to speed on a Delta feature @as__cii and Cole have been building, by using a subthread to understand the intent behind a multi-thousand-line diff.

New in Zed v1.21:
`lsp command selector: toggle` lets you run language server commands beyond cursor-specific actions.
If you use Markdown Oxide for your personal knowledge base, run today to create and open a journal file named for today’s date.

Thanks Mauricio! Open source rules!
A contribution of mine to @zeddotdev shipped today in v1.21.0 🎉
You can now add a custom keybinding to rename the active Terminal Thread directly from the Agent Panel.
A small quality-of-life improvement for anyone working with multiple agent threads.

New in today's Delta release (v0.17)
Ask an agent in one thread to kick off multiple tasks, each in its own independent top-level thread.

Do you need a mode?
When the conversation's with the code?
delta.dev/download
we’re thinking of killing plan mode and using the shift+tab hotkey to adjust effort levels
I don’t think the models need plan mode anymore, but if you’re a plan mode diehard would love to get your feedback on why

Zedi - we want YOU to talk to us about what you want out of a DeltaDB CLI connected to your existing harness setup. Reply or DM.

Also coming to Delta this week...
The context window popover shows how much of the context window is used by the system prompt, messages, thinking, and tools. The context meter indicates how close the thread is to automatic compaction.

Coming to Delta this week…
Apply colors to your threads to visually group related work. For example, you might use one color for threads from the same project, or to group different approaches you’re exploring for a feature.

Thanks Christian!
I uninstalled VS Code. It sucks — too bloated.
But what's a real alternative? Most of the new editors just fork VS Code, glue an AI chat on top, and ship Cursor or Windsurf. Same pile, new skin.
That's why I use @zeddotdev — the first one that felt like a truly new editor! Written from scratch in Rust. Not VS Code. It has an agent on board, git, and enough extensions that I stopped needing the VS Code museum.
I still prefer terminal agents for the actual coding work, though. But Zed is what I open when I need a real editor. It's amazing!
Try it out, and if you want to learn more about all my other tools check out the full video: piped.video/lG-TFEZwywc

Open a shared thread link directly in your browser, catch up in a subthread without cluttering the main conversation, and jump into the diff to leave feedback.
Just a little code review in Delta. No notes.

Delta is live on both web and mobile web! Under the hood it's the same native Rust app, compiled to WASM. Start by opening a thread link, or going to delta.dev/threads
