Open AI,and the animalsit is for.

Zoo Labs Foundation is a non-profit research organization. We publish open AI models and conservation research, and build the things that teach with them. All of it is open source — the weights, the papers, the code and the arguments.

What we do

We advance open AI for conservation, education and discovery. Everything we build is open, transparent and made to be used.

Open models

The Zen family is developed in the open and published with its weights, so anyone can run, inspect and build on it without asking us.

Weights on Hugging Face

Conservation research

Peer-style papers on wildlife population monitoring, species classification, habitat modeling and citizen science — written to be used, not cited.

Teaching with Blue

Blue is a beluga whale who answers questions about the ocean for children, students and researchers, and says plainly when something is not known.
