Comment on DeepSeek-R1 for Coding in Zed

Comments

I really like Zed, especially its attitude of starting from the scratch.

But if you want to be commercially successful, maybe it's worth providing some free trials. In comparison, Cursor has 50 trials.

At least it can give people more motivation to download.

Haven't looked into the detail but a privacy mode is also important for providing R1.

You do get $10 worth of monthly claude credits for free - https://zed.dev/blog/zed-ai-billing but for others like OpenAI or DeepSeek you need an API key.
