What it does
Zero is Vercel's experimental programming language designed for a world where AI agents write the code. Instead of editing source text, agents query and patch a semantic program graph while the compiler checks every change. Humans simply ask for outcomes, then review readable code projections when needed. Built from the ground up for agentic coding, with token efficiency, fast builds, low memory, and zero dependencies.
zerolang is an experimental graph-first programming language where agents work with semantic program structure instead of raw source text.
A programming language where the graph is the program. Humans ask for outcomes. Agents query the program graph, submit checked edits, and prove the result. Readable .0 projections stay available for review and rare manual edits Expect breaking changes. Run it in a safe environment, not against production systems. The expected workflow is a normal conversation. The graph discipline lives in the agent skills and compiler commands, not in stiff human prompts. A traditional loop writes text, then runs tools to learn what the edit meant. Zerolang puts the compiler in the loop, so an edit is a checked change to the graph. Graph patches target semantic nodes and fields, guarded by graph hashes and…from zerolang.ai

AI Playground by Vercel Labs2023 · play.vercel.ai · ▲249Hey, Jared Palmer (creator of this playground) here. Really excited to ship this. I’ve been building this over the past few weeks to compare LLMs from different providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, Cohere, etc. At Vercel, I manage our Frameworks division (including Next.js, Svelte, and Turbo) and wanted to also dogfood some of the latest features in a slightly larger application. This playground takes a lot of inspiration from https://nat.dev and is built on Tailwind, ui.shadcn.com, and some upcoming Vercel products we’re announcing soon. We’re going to continue adding models to…

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
