Use Zed with amazee.ai

Zed is a high-performance code editor with built-in AI features. You can configure custom language model providers to route requests through amazee.ai.

Prerequisites

Connect Zed to amazee.ai

  1. Open Zed and go to Settings (⌘,)
  2. Click Open Settings (JSON) to edit settings.json
  3. Add an amazee.ai provider under language_models:
{
  "language_models": {
    "openai": {
      "api_url": "https://llm.[your-region].amazee.ai/v1",
      "available_models": [
        {
          "name": "claude-sonnet-4-5",
          "display_name": "Claude Sonnet 4.5 (amazee.ai)",
          "max_tokens": 8192
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Replace [your-region] with your region code (e.g. ch103, us103, de103).

  1. When prompted, enter your amazee.ai API key

Adding more models

Add entries to the available_models array for each model you want to use. See Available Models for model IDs.

Verify

Open the AI assistant panel (⌘↩), select your amazee.ai model, and ask a question. Check my.amazee.io → Usage to confirm.

Troubleshooting

Model not appearing : Make sure the JSON is valid and the model name matches an available model on your endpoint.

Auth errors : Re-enter your API key. In Zed, go to Settings and look for the OpenAI key prompt.

Connection refused : Verify the api_url includes /v1 and uses your correct region code.
