Introduction
Welcome to Zoo Labs Documentation - Democratizing AI through decentralized training
Welcome to Zoo Docs
Zoo Labs Foundation (501c3) is building decentralized infrastructure for AI training and collective intelligence.
Mission
Democratizing AI through:
- Decentralized AI Training: Distributed compute marketplace
- Open Source Frontier AI: Zen model family (600M-480B parameters)
- Collective Intelligence: Byzantine-robust coordination (DSO)
- Verifiable AI Compute: Proof of AI (PoAI) consensus
- Fair Distribution: October 2021 genesis (100% airdrop to CryptoZoo)
Core Protocols
DSO - Decentralized Semantic Optimization
Multi-agent coordination protocol for distributed learning. Built on Hanzo's Active Semantic Optimization (ASO).
PoAI - Proof of AI
Consensus mechanism for verifiable AI compute with TEE attestations and quality verification.
Ecosystem
- Zoo Network - Blockchain infrastructure
- Gym - Training library
- AI Chat - AI assistant
- Zen Models - Open source frontier LLMs
