I've explored both Zed and Cursor recently and have ended up preferring Zed by a fair margin. Unfortunately their documentation is lacking, but the tool has a pretty coherent design so it's not too bad to figure out. This blog post was the most useful resource I could find to understand the tool: https://zed.dev/blog/zed-ai

For me the collab with Anthropic mentioned is significant too—auspicious.

The lack of an option on Windows makes it harder to justify when alacritty + nvim achieves great speeds as well, with all the customizability and what not.

Can anyone chime in on whether using zed on wsl is viable, or loses all the speed benefits?

Does anyone offhand know if you bring your own key (anthropic, OpenAI, etc) does it hit the AI providers directly or does it pass it to zeds servers first?

I believe it goes straight to you.

It's all open source though, so you could probs verify easily enough.
