Zed

Zed is a high-performance multiplayer code editor with a built-in AI assistant. It supports OpenAI-compatible providers, so you can point its assistant at the ScitiX Model Inference API for chat and edits inside the editor. Supported models include glm-5.2 and DeepSeek-V4-Flash — see the Models page for the full list and pricing.

Configure

Create an API key on the ScitiX API Keys page first.

1. Add the provider

Open Zed’s settings.json (command palette → zed: open settings) and add an OpenAI-compatible provider under language_models:

{
  "language_models": {
    "openai_compatible": {
      "scitix": {
        "api_url": "https://api.scitix.ai/model-api/v1",
        "available_models": [
          {
            "name": "glm-5.2",
            "display_name": "ScitiX glm-5.2",
            "max_tokens": 131072
          }
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

Field	Description
`openai_compatible.<id>`	Provider ID, e.g. `scitix`. The API-key environment variable name is derived from it
`api_url`	ScitiX OpenAI-compatible endpoint: `https://api.scitix.ai/model-api/v1`
`available_models[].name`	Model ID as served by ScitiX, e.g. `glm-5.2`. Choose a model with native tool calling if you rely on the assistant’s tool/edit features.
`available_models[].max_tokens`	Context window for the model

Models default to tools: true, so tool calls work without extra capability flags. Set max_tokens to the model’s real context window.

2. Provide the API key

Do not put the API key in settings.json. Zed accepts it two ways:

Settings UI — open Settings → User → AI → General → LLM Providers, find scitix in the list, and click Configure to enter the key. Zed stores it in the system keychain.
Environment variable — Zed derives the name from the provider ID in upper snake case plus _API_KEY. For the scitix provider above, set SCITIX_API_KEY, then launch Zed from a shell where that variable is exported.

The same provider can also be added from the UI (Settings → AI → LLM Providers → Add Provider → OpenAI), which stores the key in the system keychain:

Zed — OpenAI-Compatible provider pointed at ScitiX

Verify

Open the Agent Panel, select the ScitiX model (shown as ScitiX glm-5.2) from the model picker, and send a message — a normal reply confirms the connection.

If the model is not listed, confirm the available_models entry is present and api_url ends with /v1. Verified on Zed 1.14.2 (macOS); the AI settings layout may shift between versions.
