Speed Meets Openness

Why modern developers connect Zed’s Assistant to Newton’s edge proxy.

01 · MATCHING ZED’S FRAME RATE

Sub-50ms Time to First Token

Newton’s runs on Cloudflare Workers deployed across 330+ edge locations worldwide. Your requests terminate at the nearest regional data center, cutting network round trips to near zero.

02 · NATIVE SETTINGS JSON

No Hacks or Plugins

Zed supports custom OpenAI endpoints natively in ~/.config/zed/settings.json. Simply set api_url to Newton’s and launch your assistant.

03 · NO FIXED SEAT PRICING

Pure Pay-As-You-Go Credits

Skip $20/month fixed subscriptions for seats you only use part-time. With Newton’s, you only pay for the tokens you stream, with zero idle fees and full prompt caching discounts.
