Configuration

When using AI in Zed, you can configure multiple dimensions:

1. Which LLM providers you can use
   • Zed's hosted models, which require authentication and subscription
   • Using your own API keys, which do not
   • Using external agents like Claude Code, which do not
2. Model parameters and usage
3. Interactions with the Agent Panel

Turning AI Off Entirely

We want to respect users who want to use Zed without interacting with AI whatsoever. To do that, add the following key to your settings.json:

{
  "disable_ai": true
}

Read the following blog post to learn more about our motivation to promote this, as much as we also encourage users to explore AI-assisted programming.
