Zed AI v1.22.0

This week's release includes BYOK support for GPT-6.1 Sol, on-the-fly model selection for new subagents, automatic subagent compaction, a unified/split toggle for diffs opened from the command line, and dynamically fetched OpenCode models.

Features

AI

• Added an optional model parameter to spawn_agent to choose a model for that spawn instead of using the configured subagent model or inheriting the parent model, with the active model shown in its card. (#64498; thanks itsfuad)

• Added BYOK support for GPT-6.1 Sol with an OpenAI API key. (#64968; thanks ktKongTong)

• Added Grok 4.7 to the SuperGrok and xAI providers and made it their recommended default. (#64567; thanks raphaelluethy)

• Added the agent.threads_sidebar.auto_open setting to control whether opening a folder in an existing window also opens the Threads Sidebar. (#64259, #64395; thanks jackhwalters and joshkent94)

• Added support for "..." in edit_predictions.disabled_globs and edit_predictions_disabled_in so settings can extend inherited edit prediction exclusions and scopes. (#64540, #64546; thanks porada)

• Enabled compaction for subagents. (#64135)

• Improved OpenCode model availability by fetching the Zen and Go model list dynamically instead of relying on one bundled with Zed. (#64585)

• Improved performance when resolving OpenCode models. (#64666)

• Improved Threads Sidebar sizing so changes to agent.threads_sidebar.default_width take effect even after manually resizing the sidebar. (#64395; thanks joshkent94)

• Hid deprecated OpenCode models. (#64666)

Git

• Added a unified/split toggle to the diff view opened with zed --diff <old> <new>. (#64529; thanks rn23thakur)

• Improved how quickly branch diffs show their first changes when a branch has drifted far from its base. (#62536; thanks azeemshaik025)

Terminal

• Added support for "..." in terminal.path_hyperlink_regexes to extend inherited regexes without repeating them. (#64552; thanks porada)

macOS

• Added macOS three-finger Look Up and translation gestures for text in focused Markdown previews. (#59297; thanks cppcoffee)

Windows

• Added MicaBackdrop and MicaAltBackdrop options for the background.appearance theme setting. (#48340; thanks Marocco2)

Other

• Added support for "..." in file_scan_inclusions and hidden_files so project settings can extend inherited inclusion and hidden-file patterns. (#64440, #64484; thanks porada)

• Added confirmation in the title bar when a manual update check found Zed was already up to date. (#64106; thanks tahayvr)

• Improved the pending keystrokes indicator with grouped bindings, a scrollable list, and support for chords without a timeout, such as shortcuts starting with cmd-k. (#64362, #64522)

Bug Fixes

• Fixed invalid file patterns discarding valid exclusion, hidden-file, read-only, and private-file rules or causing inclusion and file-type settings to panic. (#64525; thanks porada)

• Fixed cmd-w (macOS) and ctrl-w (Linux/Windows) closing the active dock instead of the active pane item. (#64515)
