Zed: Edit predictions are leaving the free Personal plan on October 7
news.ycombinator.com · Read Story HN original
Just got an email saying this:
> On October 7, 2026, edit predictions will no longer be included with Zed’s free Personal plan. They will remain available on the Pro, Student, and Business plans.
> Edit predictions require ongoing inference infrastructure, so we’re moving them to plans that support those costs.
> You’re receiving this email because you’ve recently used edit predictions on the Personal plan. If you want to continue using predictions after October 7, you can:
> Upgrade to Pro
> Self-host Zeta 2.1 (see our docs)
> Use one of the third-party providers we support
> Otherwise, no action is required.
> — The Zed team
