<p>ZeroClaw is a fast, small, and fully autonomous AI assistant infrastructure built in Rust. It serves as the runtime operating system for agentic workflows — abstracting models, tools, memory, and execution so agents can be built once and run anywhere.</p>
<p>With a memory footprint under 5MB and cold start times under 10ms, ZeroClaw is designed for cost-efficient deployment on minimal hardware.</p>
