# Zoo AI vs ZenLM - Project Relationship
|
| 2 |
+
|
| 3 |
+
## Overview
|
| 4 |
+
|
| 5 |
+
**Zoo AI** and **ZenLM** are the same foundational technology under different brands:
|
| 6 |
+
|
| 7 |
+
- **ZenLM**: Collaborative multi-org project (Zoo Labs + Hanzo AI + Lux)
|
| 8 |
+
- **Zoo AI**: Zoo Labs Foundation-branded version
|
| 9 |
+
|
| 10 |
+
## Why Two Brands?
|
| 11 |
+
|
| 12 |
+
### ZenLM (https://github.com/zenlm)
|
| 13 |
+
- **Purpose**: Neutral collaborative brand for multi-org cooperation
|
| 14 |
+
- **Ownership**: No single organization owns it
|
| 15 |
+
- **Contributors**: Zoo Labs, Hanzo AI, Lux Industries equally
|
| 16 |
+
- **Use Case**: Research papers, academic work, cross-org projects
|
| 17 |
+
|
| 18 |
+
### Zoo AI (https://github.com/zooai)
|
| 19 |
+
- **Purpose**: Zoo Labs Foundation's public-facing brand
|
| 20 |
+
- **Ownership**: Zoo Labs Foundation (501c3)
|
| 21 |
+
- **Contributors**: Zoo Labs leads, partners contribute
|
| 22 |
+
- **Use Case**: Nonprofit branding, fundraising, community building
|
| 23 |
+
|
| 24 |
+
## Model Naming
|
| 25 |
+
|
| 26 |
+
### ZenLM
|
| 27 |
+

|
| 28 |
+
- zenlm/zen-eco-4b-instruct
|
| 29 |
+
- etc.
|
| 30 |
+
|
| 31 |
+
### Zoo AI
|
| 32 |
+
- zooai/zoo-nano-0.6b
|
| 33 |
+
- zooai/zoo-eco-4b-instruct
|
| 34 |
+
- etc.
|
| 35 |
+
|
| 36 |
+
**Same models, different namespaces.**
