# wgpu vs zed

wgpu and zed share 6 technologies: objc2-foundation, Tokio, wgpu, objc2-quartz-core, log, and env_logger. Both are written in Rust.

- [gfx-rs/wgpu](https://seerepo.com/r/gfx-rs/wgpu): A cross-platform, safe, pure-Rust graphics API.
- [zed-industries/zed](https://seerepo.com/r/zed-industries/zed): Code at the speed of thought – Zed is a high-performance, multiplayer code editor from the creators of Atom and Tree-sitter.

| Who writes it | 0.1% of its commits signed by AI. With GitHub Copilot and Claude Code | 0.5% of its commits signed by AI. With Claude Code, Amp, Factory, GitHub Copilot, Codex, Cursor, and Gemini CLI |
| Activity | Last push November 6, 2026, 10,345 commits, 18,474 stars | Last push November 4, 2026, 37,547 commits, 92,679 stars |
| Tests | 172 test files. 11.8% of its code files have a test that imports them | 140 test files. 18.1% of its code files have a test that imports them |

- Size: Lines written by people and agents, without generated ones; code files, without tests.
- Who writes it: A commit counts as AI's when it carries its signature: a Co-Authored-By line, its author name or the merge of its branch.
- Activity: From GitHub and its history, on the day SeeRepo read it.
- Tests: The files that test the code, and the share of code files a test imports.
