LLM.md - Zoo Industries

Project

Marketing site for Zoo Industries Inc & Zoo Labs Foundation (501(c)(3)) — the open AI research network behind DeAI, DeSci, and the Zen model family.

URL: https://zoo.industries
Stack: Next.js 15 (App Router, static export) + React 19 + TypeScript + Tailwind 4 + Framer Motion
Dev: pnpm dev (port 8080)
Build: pnpm build (static export to out/)
Deploy: GitHub Pages (auto on push to main)

Single Source of Truth

site.config.ts is the canonical brand data file. Fork it (and the public assets in public/) to rebrand the entire site. New components MUST pull brand strings from siteConfig rather than hardcoding "Zoo".

Architecture

Next.js App Router with output: 'export' for static GitHub Pages hosting. All marketing pages live under a (marketing) route group sharing a common layout (Navbar + Footer + ChatWidget).

app/
  layout.tsx                    # Root layout, theme provider, fonts
  globals.css
  (marketing)/
    layout.tsx                  # Navbar + Footer + GlobalChatWidget

  zoo-logo.svg                  # Brand mark from @zooai/brand

Theme System

Three modes (light / dark / system) via next-themes. Brand is monochrome by default (black / white / neutral grays). Zoo accent palette available from @zooai/brand if needed: yellow #FCF006, magenta #EA018E, cyan #01ACF1.

Brand Policy: No Upstream References

CRITICAL: All public-facing docs must present Zen models as our own family.

Never reference upstream model names (GLM, Kimi, Qwen3, Moonshot, Zhipu, etc.)
Keep factual specs (params, context, architecture type) accurate
Brand methodology: Zen MoDE (Mixture of Diverse Experts)

Key GitHub Orgs

Org	Notable
zooai	Zoo Network apps, libs, contracts (canonical)
zoofoundation	Foundation papers, ZIPs, governance
zoo-labs	Legacy foundation repos
zenlm	Zen model family weights and configs
luxfi	Settlement layer (partner)
hanzoai	Infrastructure partner

Key Protocols

DSO (Decentralized Semantic Optimization) — ZIP-001
PoAI (Proof of AI) — ZIP-002
ZIPs — Zoo Improvement Proposals at zips.zoo.ngo

Tokens

$ZOO — fixed-supply governance token (100% minted at genesis)
$AI — mineable compute token via partner network

Rules for AI Assistants

ALWAYS update LLM.md with significant discoveries
NEVER commit symlinked files (.AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, etc.) — they're in .gitignore
NEVER create random summary files — update THIS file
Use pnpm for Node.js, uv for Python
Pull brand strings from site.config.ts, never hardcode
Zen models: present as our own family — never reference upstream names
