Zed AI v1.25.0-pre

This week's release includes automatic unfolding of folded code when jumping to a location, applying inlay hint edits with a double-click, context compaction for external agents, and new Gemini 4 Argon and Amazon Bedrock models.

Features

AI

• Added the Gemini 4 Argon model (gemini-4-argon) to the Google AI provider. (#65565; thanks LorenzoBiassio)

• Added GPT-6 Astra, Claude Fable 5.1, and Claude Opus 5.5 to the Amazon Bedrock provider. (#64201, #64685; thanks IbrahimKhan12 and alexandergunnarson)

• Enabled session notices and context compaction for external agents using ACP. (#65414)

Git

• Improved the branch picker to make clear that deleting a remote-tracking branch only removes the local ref, and removed the force delete option for remote-tracking branches, since it had no effect. (#61793; thanks lld4n)

Languages

• Added support for applying inlay hint text edits by double-clicking a hint, or by running editor: accept inlay hint with the cursor at the hint. (#64789)

Remote Development

• Improved SSH remote connection time by detecting the remote shell, platform, and OS version in one command instead of three, which helps most when connecting from Windows. (#65065; thanks Huliiiiii)

Other

• Added automatic unfolding of folded sections when jumping to a location via go to line, go to definition/declaration/implementation/type definition, symbol navigation, the outline and project symbol pickers, multibuffer location results, and navigation history. (#65217; thanks henne90gen)

• Added an "Open SVG Preview" option to the Project Panel's context menu for SVG files. (#65539; thanks skmanoj322)

• Added the tab_switcher.show_file_preview setting, which controls whether files are previewed in the editor while cycling through the tab switcher (defaults to true). (#56235; thanks sebascadpi)

• Improved the tab switcher so it no longer changes selection on mouse hover and no longer delays showing its popover; you can still click entries to switch tabs. (#65546)

• Improved startup time when restoring hundreds of editor selections. (#65171)

• Improved startup time when using custom icon themes. (#65173)

• Reduced Zed's binary size by about 33% on macOS, 28% on Windows, and 7% on Linux. (#65168)

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug where environment variables, including secrets, passed to external agents and MCP servers in remote projects were visible in the local machine's process list. (#65174)

• Fixed prompts to external agents being slow to send, or never sending, because of unneeded Git checkpoints. (#65304)

• Fixed the remote server failing to start when connecting to a Windows host over SSH. (#55292; thanks sergio-u)

• Fixed ctrl-o and ctrl-i in Vim mode not navigating back and forward when a Markdown preview was focused. (#65299; thanks gitKashish)

• Fixed a bug where archiving an agent thread did nothing and kept a CPU core busy when the thread's linked worktree folder had been deleted. (#65578)

• Fixed a bug where case conversion and other text transformation commands duplicated the word when multiple cursors were inside it. (#65291; thanks gitKashish)

• Fixed a bug where navigating back skipped a Markdown preview tab after switching to another file. (#65299; thanks gitKashish)

• Fixed a bug where notification sounds could stop playing after an audio output error, and on Linux an audio thread could keep using a full CPU core until Zed restarted. (#65158)

• Fixed a bug where the Git Panel's commit editor buttons changed opacity when hovering over empty space. (#65448; thanks shuvroroy)

• Fixed a bug where the Project Panel's "Open Markdown Preview" option did not appear for files opened on their own (e.g. zed README.md). (#65539; thanks skmanoj322)

• Fixed a bug where the Settings UI sidebar did not highlight the subsection being scrolled through, including the last short subsections of a page. (#65172; thanks mayurathavale18)

• Fixed a visual artifact at the corners of scrollable code blocks when hovered. (#64978)
