Codex Is Live in Zed

Is it just a GUI service for codex?

Zed has a generic interface to agents (ACP). This is a bridge between the ACP api and the codex api so that it integrates cleanly inside Zed in mostly the same way the other non-codex supported agents do

I like how it integrated it

I'd wish a better model or system would go live for the inline suggestions. The Zed ones are so trash compared to Cursor's it is just laughable.
An example is that when I have a module like Namespace::SuperAbcModule in a file at namespace/super_abc_module.rb and I rename the file to namespace/super_module.rb, Cursor will immediately suggest to change the module name to `Namespace::SuperModule`, Zed won't.
Also Cursor will suggest updates to lines throughout a file whereas Zed sometimes doesn't even look ahead 1-2 lines.
Having Claude Code and Codex built into the sidebar is hardly better than having them running in a terminal. I wish they'd invested all this time and effort improving the inline suggestions.

Right click on the file in the project tree -> rename will rename references. Or in the code right click -> rename symbol. Not sure why you need to bring AI into it.

Why is that something AI has to do? PhpStorm does this, without Ai, since forever ago. And updates references everywhere, even inside strings or doc comments.

Firstly, I don't care what tech does this, as long as I can get good suggestions.
Secondly, it was just one example that came to me from comparing this the other day. You could compile a long list of examples where Cursor gives better completions than Zed does.

I otherwise like Zed way more than the vscode-derivatives but yeah, the edit predictions are just not even close. And it's laggier feeling despite the lower quality.

Agreed. Zed is my daily driver and I love it, but the autocomplete is not good. I end up disabling AI altogether.

This is what holds me back from Zed.

Product video is more saying about the FPS.

I watched the video in the linked post and I don't think it said anything about the FPS.
Cool. If Zed supported git worktree diff highlighting, I'd be using it.
