🔬 New AI Craft
1. Zero — An Agent-First Programming Language by Vercel Labs
Zero is a compiled programming language designed from the ground up for AI agents, featuring a native toolchain that outputs structured diagnostics, graph facts, and fix plans. Unlike prompt-driven workflows, Zero allows agents to autonomously inspect and repair code through deep compiler integration and a comprehensive standard library.

2. ClawPatch — AI Code Review + Automated Patch Robot
ClawPatch bridges the gap between code review and implementation by automatically generating patches and submitting PRs based on review findings. It automates the "Review→Fix→PR" loop, removing manual intervention from the bug-fixing workflow.

3. Agora-1 — A Multi-Agent World Model Framework
Introduced by Odyssey ML, Agora-1 provides an environment where multiple agents with distinct roles and memories interact to make collaborative decisions. It is designed for complex scenario simulations and multi-turn strategic games rather than single-assistant tasks.
