Number 1 is Zed but it's not actually an "AI editor", they're just leaning into it a bit for funding. Its a fully open source Rust editor made by the former Atom developers and I highly recommend it as a replacement for Microsoft's VSCode. On first startup, they offer you the option to fully disable any AI features

Why replace VSCode is it’s also open source? (VSCodium)

Less Microsoft and a native UI. Microsoft is already making it hard to use alternative releases of VSCode like Codium by restricting them from using their extension marketplace and things like Pylance (their newer more advanced Python LSP). Try to even download a .vsix extension from Microsoft's site - you can't because they don't offer the ability to anymore without VSCode
Zed also openly integrates with LSP so you can use servers like basedpyright and get a more featurefull editor than Code
