Zed already ships a native Apple Silicon (aarch64) build by default, so updating to the latest version will automatically get you onto the native build. The simplest path is to launch Zed and check Help > Check for Updates, or visit zed.dev/docs/installation and download the latest macOS build from the download page — the site automatically serves the Universal/native binary on M-series Macs. Alternatively, if you installed Zed via Homebrew (brew install --cask zed), running brew upgrade will pull the current native build. After updating, you will see noticeably better performance and improved battery life compared to running the older Intel version under Rosetta.
