Use Grok in Zed

Steps

1. 1
   Step 1.

   Create an API key in the xAI Console (https://console.x.ai/team/default/api-keys).

2. 2
   Step 2.

   Open Agent Settings (agent::OpenSettings) and go to the xAI section. Enter your xAI API key. Zed also reads XAI_API_KEY from the local Zed process environment.

3. 3
   Step 3.

   To add Grok ids Zed does not list yet, add custom xAI models in settings.json. Documented format (Zed's example uses grok-1.5; replace name with a current id such as grok-4.7 and limits from xAI's model page):
