🔬 New AI Craft
1. Formal Verification Gates for AI Coding Loops
Insert formal verification as a gate after AI code generation — mathematically proving correctness instead of relying on human review. Catches logical bugs and edge cases that LLMs miss, at the cost of automation and overhead.

2. PopuLoRA: Co-Evolving LLM Populations Through Self-Play
A co-evolution framework maintaining multiple LLM instances with different LoRA adapters, improving each other via reasoning self-play. Evolves model capability at the weight level rather than through multi-agent orchestration.
