Zed's Delta Now Runs AI Coding Agents in the Cloud Without Your Laptop

Takeaways

• Delta launches Cloud Runners , moving agent threads to Zed-hosted Linux sandboxes so work continues without your computer.
• Three sizes available, from 2 CPU / 4 GB up to 8 CPU / 16 GB, running Debian Bookworm on E2B.
• Repos auto-install via a committed .agents/setup script, with snapshots cached for a day.
• GitHub auth, env vars, MCP servers, and model providers all carry over from your Delta account settings.
• Up to six concurrent runners, free on all paid plans while Delta-specific pricing is still being developed.
• Terminals cap at one hour and runners pause after 10 minutes idle, with auto-resume on the next turn.
