Zed's plans offer hosted versions of major LLMs with higher rate limits than direct API access. Model availability is updated regularly. To use your own API keys instead, see [LLM Providers](/content/docs/ai/llm-providers.html). For general setup, see [Configuration](/content/docs/ai/configuration.html).

> **Note:** Claude Opus models and GPT-5.4 pro are not available on the [Student plan](/content/docs/ai/plans-and-usage.html#student/index.html).

As of February 19, 2026, Zed Pro serves newer model versions in place of the retired models below:

- Claude Opus 4.1 → Claude Opus 4.5, Claude Opus 4.6, or Claude Opus 4.7
- Claude Sonnet 4 → Claude Sonnet 4.5 or Claude Sonnet 4.6
- Claude Sonnet 3.7 (retired Feb 19) → Claude Sonnet 4.5 or Claude Sonnet 4.6
- GPT-5.1 and GPT-5 → GPT-5.2 or GPT-5.2-Codex
- Gemini 2.5 Pro → Gemini 3.1 Pro

Any usage of a Zed-hosted model will be billed at the Zed Price (rightmost column above). See [Plans and Usage](/content/docs/ai/plans-and-usage.html) for details on Zed's plans and limits for use of hosted models.

> LLMs can enter unproductive loops that require user intervention. Monitor longer-running tasks and interrupt if needed.

A context window is the maximum span of text and code an LLM can consider at once, including both the input prompt and output generated by the model.

> Context window limits for hosted Gemini 3.1 Pro/3 Flash may increase in future releases.

Each Agent thread in Zed maintains its own context window.
The more prompts, attached files, and responses included in a session, the larger the context window grows.

Start a new thread for each distinct task to keep context focused.

Models can use [tools](/content/docs/ai/tools.html) to interface with your code, search the web, and perform other useful functions.
