Open AI research network for decentralized training, inference, and scientific computing. A 501(c)(3) nonprofit advancing decentralized AI (DeAI) and decentralized science (DeSci) through community-driven research coordination and open infrastructure.
Zoo Labs Foundation operates at the intersection of AI and decentralized systems. Through ZIPs (Zoo Improvement Proposals) governance, the community coordinates bleeding-edge research in distributed training, federated inference, and open scientific computing. All research outputs are open-access.
