Integrations
Zed
Zed is an open-source code editor with a built-in AI agent. Add DEVUP AI as an OpenAI-compatible provider, and the Zed agent, the inline assistant and chat run on DEVUP AI models.
Requirements
- Zed 1.21 or newer;
- a DEVUP AI API key from https://devupai.com/dashboard/api-keys. Create a dedicated key for Zed so you can revoke it on its own.
Install Zed
On Windows:
winget install -e --id ZedIndustries.ZedOn macOS and Linux, download Zed from https://zed.dev/download.
Add DEVUP AI as a provider
Add the provider
| Step | Where | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Zed | Open Settings with Ctrl+,. |
| 2 | Settings, section AI | Open LLM Providers and click Add Provider. |
| 3 | Provider form | Provider Name: DEVUP AI. API URL: https://api.devupai.com/v1. API Key: your DEVUP AI key. |
| 4 | Models | Model Name: deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Pro. Max Tokens: the model's context_window (next section). Keep the values Zed fills in for Max Completion Tokens and Max Output Tokens. |
| 5 | Provider form | Save. |
https://api.devupai.com/v1
Zed stores the key in the system keychain, not in settings.json.
Find the context window for Max Tokens
Max Tokens is the model's context window. Read it from context_window in GET /v1/models:
$models = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "https://api.devupai.com/v1/models" -Headers @{ Authorization = "Bearer $env:DEVUP_API_KEY" }
$models.data | Where-Object { $_.id -eq "deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Pro" } | Select-Object id, context_windowEnter the number it prints for the model you added.

Chat with the Zed agent
Reply with exactly: Salam DEVUP
Let the agent edit files
Open a project folder, keep the Write profile selected next to the model picker, and ask:
Create hello.go that prints Salam DEVUP, then read the file back and tell me its first line.
The agent creates the file, reads it back and answers. Review its changes with Keep All or Reject All.
Edit code inline
Select code, press Ctrl+Enter, and type your instruction:
Add a comment explaining this function
Choosing models
Add one model entry per catalog ID you want in Zed, each with its own context_window. The agent needs a model with tool calling. See Models and Tool Calling.
Troubleshooting
- The key is in the OpenAI section:Zed's built-in OpenAI provider is OpenAI's own service. Enter your DEVUP AI key only in the provider you added with Add Provider.
- The agent answers but does not change files:Select the Write profile next to the model picker, and keep Supports tools on for the model.
- Zed shows a context limit that does not match the model:Set Max Tokens to the context_window value from GET /v1/models, then save.
