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>The current trajectory of AI development concentrates power in a handful of organizations. Models are trained on humanity’s collective knowledge, yet the resulting systems remain proprietary. We believe there’s a better path.</p>
<p>Zen represents our commitment to building AI that is:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Open</strong> : All research, weights, and training methodologies published freely</li>
<li><strong>Decentralized</strong> : No single point of control or failure</li>
<li><strong>Aligned</strong> : Built with explicit mechanisms for community governance</li>
<li><strong>Efficient</strong> : Optimized for accessibility, not just raw capability</li>
</ul>

<p>We’re starting with a focus on three areas:</p>
<h3 class="flex scroll-m-28 flex-row items-center gap-2" id="1-distributed-training-infrastructure"><a data-card="" href="#1-distributed-training-infrastructure" class="peer">1. Distributed Training Infrastructure</a><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="24" height="24" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-link size-3.5 shrink-0 text-fd-muted-foreground opacity-0 transition-opacity peer-hover:opacity-100" aria-hidden="true"><path d="M10 13a5 5 0 0 0 7.54.54l3-3a5 5 0 0 0-7.07-7.07l-1.72 1.71"></path><path d="M14 11a5 5 0 0 0-7.54-.54l-3 3a5 5 0 0 0 7.07 7.07l1.71-1.71"></path></svg></h3>
<p>Training large models requires significant compute. Rather than centralizing this in massive data centers, we’re developing protocols for distributed training across heterogeneous hardware. Our early experiments show promising results with gradient compression and asynchronous updates.</p>
<h3 class="flex scroll-m-28 flex-row items-center gap-2" id="2-open-data-pipelines"><a data-card="" href="#2-open-data-pipelines" class="peer">2.

<p>Quality training data is as important as model architecture. We’re building transparent data curation pipelines with clear provenance tracking. Every piece of training data will have documented lineage.</p>
<h3 class="flex scroll-m-28 flex-row items-center gap-2" id="3-governance-mechanisms"><a data-card="" href="#3-governance-mechanisms" class="peer">3.

<p>AI systems make decisions that affect people. Those people should have a voice in how these systems evolve. We’re exploring on-chain governance mechanisms that give stakeholders meaningful input.</p>

<p>Over the coming months, we’ll publish:</p>
<ul>
<li>Our initial architecture proposals</li>
<li>Distributed training benchmarks</li>
<li>Data curation guidelines</li>
<li>Governance framework drafts</li>
</ul>
<p>This is day one. The hard work is ahead. But we believe the destination is worth the journey.</p>
<p>Join us.</p>
