> It will have to cut some features that zed is really proud of

What, they're proud of the telemetery?

The fork claims to make everything opt-in and to not default to any specific vendor, and only to remove things that cannot be self-hosted. What proprietary features have to be cut that Zed people are really proud of?

As far as I know, the Zed people have open sourced their collab server components (as AGPLv3), at least well enough to self-host. For example, https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/docs/src/dev... -- AFAIK it's just https://github.com/livekit/livekit

The AI stuff will happily talk to self-hosted models, or OpenAI API lookalikes.
