Subject: [PATCH] Add @stdlib/matrix and @stdlib/ai modules
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Two new stdlib modules for AI/ML workloads:

- matrix: Matrix math, matmul, softmax, relu, sigmoid, gelu, cosine
  similarity, layer norm, loss functions — pure Hemlock, no FFI deps
- ai: Unified LLM client for OpenAI, Anthropic, and Ollama with chat,
  embeddings, streaming, and auto provider detection from model name

+# Hemlock AI Module
+
+A standard library module providing a unified interface to AI/LLM APIs for chat completions, embeddings, and streaming.
+
+## Overview
+
+The AI module makes it trivial to call AI models from Hemlock:
+
+- **Multi-provider** — OpenAI, Anthropic, and Ollama (local models) with consistent API
+- **One-liner chat** — `chat("question")` auto-detects provider from model name
+- **Embeddings** — Generate vectors for semantic search and RAG
+- **Streaming** — Token-by-token output with callbacks
+- **Auto-detection** — Model names like "gpt-4o" route to OpenAI, "claude-*" to Anthropic, "llama3" to Ollama
+
+**Status:** Production-ready. Built on `@stdlib/http` — no additional dependencies.
+
+## Setup
+
+Set API keys via environment variables:
+
+```bash
+export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..."
+export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-..."
+```
+
+Ollama requires no API key (runs locally on port 11434).
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```hemlock
+import { chat, embed, stream_chat } from "@stdlib/ai";
+
+// One-liner chat
+let answer = chat("What is Hemlock?");
+print(answer);
+
+// With a specific model
+let response = chat("Explain pointers", model: "claude-sonnet-4-20250514");
+
+// Stream the response
+stream_chat("Tell me a story", fn(chunk) {
+    write(chunk);
+});
+print("");
+
+// Generate embeddings
+let vec = embed("Hello world");
+print("Embedding dimensions:", vec.length);
+```

+# Hemlock Matrix Module
+
+A standard library module providing matrix and tensor math operations for numerical computing and AI/ML workloads.
+
+## Overview
+
+The matrix module provides numerical primitives without external dependencies:
+
+- **Matrix creation** — zeros, ones, identity, random, from arrays
+- **Arithmetic** — add, sub, mul, scale, element-wise operations
+- **Linear algebra** — matmul, transpose, outer product, dot product
+- **Vector operations** — normalize, magnitude, cosine similarity, euclidean distance
+- **Activation functions** — sigmoid, relu, leaky_relu, gelu, softmax, tanh
+- **Statistics** — mean, variance, std, sum, argmax, argmin
+- **Loss functions** — MSE, cross-entropy
+- **Normalization** — layer norm, min-max normalization
+- **Shape operations** — reshape, flatten, clone
+
+**Status:** Production-ready. Pure Hemlock — no FFI dependencies.
+
+## Usage
+
+```hemlock
+import { zeros, matmul, softmax, dot, cosine_similarity } from "@stdlib/matrix";
+```
+
+### Matrix Representation
+
+Matrices are objects with `{ data, rows, cols }` where `data` is a flat array stored in row-major order:
+
+```hemlock
+let m = { data: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6], rows: 2, cols: 3 };
+// Represents:
+// [1, 2, 3]
+// [4, 5, 6]
