About

What zeta-2.1 is

Zeta 2.1 Zeta 2.1 is a code edit prediction (also known as next-edit suggestion) model finetuned from ByteDance-Seed/Seed-Coder-8B-Base. Given code context, edits history and an editable region around the cursor, it predicts the rewritten content for that region. - Developed by: Zed Industries - License: Apache-2.0 - Fine-tuned from: ByteDance-Seed/Seed-Coder-8B-Base - Model version: 0323-multi-region-filtered-r3 Prompt format The model uses a SPM (suffix-prefix-middle) style prompt with numbered multi-region markers for editable regions: Here is a minimal example: Expected output (should be generated by the model, without backticks): Here is a real-world example: - Sample prompt input - Sample model output

Using it via the API

Call it like any OpenAI endpoint

Once AxForge deploys zeta-2-1 for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (zeta-2-1 below is illustrative; you get the exact model name on deployment.)

$ curl -sS https://api.axforge.ai/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AXFORGE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"zeta-2-1","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Hello"}]}'
