Zed now has a promotion for student verification, offering one year of Pro AI for free.

  • At least 18 years old

However, “The Zed student program doesn’t include Claude Fable, Claude Opus, or GPT Pro models.”

Tested and works with university email addresses in China.

gpt pro doesn’t work, but sol/terra/luna are fine.

Ten bucks a month is a bit too little…

The restriction threshold seems a bit high, doesn’t it? Piki seems to be able to get through, but mine can’t :xhj17:. It’s a university with a four-letter abbreviation, at least.

Thanks, but that’s not enough—$10 is so little. What can this do, and how much code can it write?

It’s hard to get verified, so you might as well just buy verification eligibility on Xianyu.

$10, and it’s gone just like that.

Post summary: The OP shared Zed’s student verification perks: after verification, students (college students aged 18+) receive one year of Zed Pro AI, $10 in free monthly credits, and access to models such as gpt-5.6-sol/terra/luna. No card is required, and testing showed that Chinese university campus email addresses can also pass verification. Discussion in the thread: some users said they didn’t have a university email, the verification requirements were strict (even a university with a four-letter abbreviation couldn’t pass), and the $10 credit was too little—“it’s gone after just saying hello.” Others suggested buying verified eligibility directly on Xianyu (闲鱼). The OP added that GPT Pro doesn’t work, but sol/terra/luna do, and that an open-source project called Zed2API can already act as a reverse proxy. In short: if you have a university email, you can get it for free; the credit isn’t substantial, so it’s best suited for light use or personal use with a reverse proxy.

The allowance is way too small—ask a few questions and $10 is gone.

Thank you. Domestic email addresses work as well.

If you can get verified as a GitHub student, logging in with GitHub will let you pass instantly.
