https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/30972 brought up another
case where our context is not enough to track the actual source of the
issue: we get a general top-level error without inner error.
The reason for this was `.ok_or_else(|| anyhow!("failed to read HEAD
SHA"))?; ` on the top level.
The PR finally reworks the way we use anyhow to reduce such issues (or
at least make it simpler to bubble them up later in a fix).
On top of that, uses a few more anyhow methods for better readability.
* `.ok_or_else(|| anyhow!("..."))`, `map_err` and other similar error
conversion/option reporting cases are replaced with `context` and
`with_context` calls
* in addition to that, various `anyhow!("failed to do ...")` are
stripped with `.context("Doing ...")` messages instead to remove the
parasitic `failed to` text
* `anyhow::ensure!` is used instead of `if ... { return Err(...); }`
calls
* `anyhow::bail!` is used instead of `return Err(anyhow!(...));`
Release Notes:
- N/A
* Adds a fast / cheaper model to providers and defaults thread
summarization to this model. Initial motivation for this was that
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/29099 would cause these
requests to fail when used with a thinking model. It doesn't seem
correct to use a thinking model for summarization.
* Skips system prompt, context, and thinking segments.
* If tool use is happening, allows 2 tool uses + one more agent response
before summarizing.
Downside of this is that there was potential for some prefix cache reuse
before, especially for title summarization (thread summarization omitted
tool results and so would not share a prefix for those). This seems fine
as these requests should typically be fairly small. Even for full thread
summarization, skipping all tool use / context should greatly reduce the
token use.
Release Notes:
- N/A
- Added support for DeepSeek as a new language model provider in Zed
Assistant
- Implemented streaming API support for real-time responses from
DeepSeek models.
- Added a configuration UI for DeepSeek API key management and settings.
- Updated documentation with detailed setup instructions for DeepSeek
integration.
- Added DeepSeek-specific icons and model definitions for seamless
integration into the Zed UI.
- Integrated DeepSeek into the language model registry, making it
available alongside other providers like OpenAI and Anthropic.
Release Notes:
- Added support for DeepSeek to the Assistant.
