zeekay 004979143d fix(branding): move decorator to external /zen-decorate.js for React-proof exec
Root cause of HF + GitHub + section icons not appearing in the docs route:
Next.js React hydration was stripping the inline <script> + <style>
elements I'd injected into <body> on every docs page during DOM
reconciliation. The script never registered its setInterval.

Move the decorator to /zen-decorate.js loaded via <script defer src>
in <head>. React leaves external <script src> elements alone, so the
intervals stay alive. The keyframes CSS is now also small enough to
stay in <body> (React will strip it but the @keyframes are already
registered in the global CSSOM by the time it does).

<p>Current AI training is dominated by:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Cloud providers</strong> : AWS, GCP, Azure control most AI-grade compute</li>
<li><strong>Hardware scarcity</strong> : H100s have year-long waitlists</li>
<li><strong>High costs</strong> : Training GPT-4 class models costs $100M+</li>
<li><strong>Geographic concentration</strong> : Most clusters are in a few regions</li>
</ul>
<p>This concentration creates risks:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Access barriers</strong> : Only well-funded organizations can train frontier models</li>
<li><strong>Single points of failure</strong> : Outages affect entire research programs</li>
<li><strong>Regulatory exposure</strong> : One jurisdiction can impact global AI development</li>
<li><strong>Vendor lock-in</strong> : Switching costs are enormous</li>
</ol>

<li>Reliability (distribute across failure domains)</li>

<li>All-reduce for data-parallel training</li>
<li>Point-to-point for pipeline/tensor parallelism</li>
<li>Asynchronous updates for fault tolerance</li>

<p><strong>For Compute Providers</strong></p>
<p>Providers stake ZEN tokens as collateral and earn rewards for:</p>
<ul>
<li>Uptime (base reward)</li>
<li>Computation completed (work reward)</li>
<li>Network contribution (bandwidth bonus)</li>
</ul>
<p>Slashing occurs for:</p>
<ul>
<li>Downtime during committed periods</li>
<li>Incorrect computation (detected via verification)</li>
<li>Bandwidth violations</li>
</ul>
<p>Expected returns: 15-25% APY on staked tokens plus hardware depreciation coverage.</p>

<p>Prices are market-determined through ongoing auctions. Users can specify maximum price and wait for availability.</p>

<p>With 1% sampling and 100 steps, detection probability is 63%. With 5% sampling, it’s 99.4%.</p>
<p><strong>Gradient Consistency</strong></p>
<p>Aggregated gradients are checked for statistical anomalies. Fabricated gradients have detectable patterns.</p>
<p><strong>Trusted Execution (Optional)</strong></p>
<p>For high-value jobs, nodes can run in TEE enclaves (SGX, TDX). Provides cryptographic attestation of correct execution.</p>

<p>Decentralized compute is essential for decentralized AI. The Zoo Compute Network provides a permissionless, efficient, and verifiable substrate for training large models. As the network grows, it becomes more resilient and more accessible.</p>
<p>Compute should be a utility, not a moat.</p>
