Ah that's a model that can run on a shitty old PC right. Like the idea of tools being local again.

Zed doesn't run on the PC you describe. It needs a modern GPU that supports Vulkan (not for AI, just to show text on the screen).

I liked Zed so much I bought a new graphics card!

I have sympathy for the reporter, but that CPU is literally 10 years old.

My own graphics card was 5 years old. It was just an Nvidia with outdated Linux drivers. There is no other application on my computer that complained about it.

In any case I'd understand needing bleeding edge hardware for 3D gaming, or CAD, or multimedia. But a 10 year old machine _should_ be able to run a text editor IMHO.

Maybe the model itself can be ran locally but the wa it’s currently integrated in Zed it runs on the server.
