ZIP-10: Zoo Launch Models - Eco-1, Coder-1, and Nano-1

Abstract

Zoo launches three specialized AI models: Eco-1 for multimodal behavioral learning with z-JEPA/v-JEPA v2 architecture, Coder-1 for programming and technical tasks, and Nano-1 for edge deployment. Each model features native thinking tokens for transparent reasoning, BitDelta for efficient personalization, and incorporates advances from GLM4.5 including self-critique mechanisms and hybrid retrieval. These models form the foundation for Zoo's AI ecosystem across education, gaming, DeFi, and development.

Motivation

Zoo requires specialized models optimized for distinct use cases:

Model Specialization

  1. Eco-1: Multimodal understanding for avatars, NPCs, and behavioral AI
  2. Coder-1: Programming expertise for development assistance and smart contracts
  3. Nano-1: Lightweight for mobile, edge, and resource-constrained environments

Key Innovations (Incorporating GLM4.5 Advances)

  • Self-Critique Loop: Models evaluate and refine their own outputs (from GLM4.5)
  • Hybrid Retrieval: Dense + sparse retrieval for better context (GLM4.5 All-Tools)
  • Long Context: 1M+ token context windows with gradient checkpointing
  • Thinking Tokens: Transparent reasoning with <think> tags
  • z-JEPA Integration: Video understanding without pixel reconstruction

    // Implements LP-301 (ILPJob) and LP-303 (ILPRoyalties)
    
    struct ModelRegistration {
        string modelLuxId;          // did:lux:122:0x... for the model

Compute Jobs (LP-101)

Model inference requests use standard JobSpec:

class ZooModelJob:
    """
    LP-101 compliant job submission for Zoo models
    """
    
    def submit_inference_job(
        self,
        model_name: str,  # "Eco-1", "Coder-1", or "Nano-1"
        user_lux_id: str,  # did:lux:122:0x...
        input_data: Dict
    ) -> JobSpec:
        
        job = JobSpec(
            chainId=122,  # Zoo chain
            modelHash=self.get_model_hash(model_name),
            requesterLuxId=user_lux_id,
            providerLuxId=self.get_provider_lux_id(),
            functionCall=f"{model_name.lower()}_inference",
            inputData=input_data,
            maxGasPrice=self.calculate_gas_price(model_name),
            deadline=int(time.time()) + 300  # 5 minute timeout
        )
        
        # Sign with EIP-712
        signature = self.sign_job_spec(job)
        
        # Submit to compute network
        receipt = self.compute_client.submit_job(job, signature)
        
        return receipt

Training Campaigns (LP-108)

Coordinated model improvement campaigns:

class ZooTrainingCampaign:
    """
    LP-108 compliant training campaigns for Zoo models
    """
    
    def create_campaign(
        self,
        model_name: str,
        campaign_type: str,  # "fine-tune", "continued-pretrain", "rlhf"
        dataset_lux_ids: List[str]  # did:lux identifiers for datasets
    ) -> TrainingCampaign:
        
        campaign = TrainingCampaign(
            modelLuxId=self.get_model_lux_id(model_name),
            campaignType=campaign_type,
            datasetCredentials=[
                self.fetch_dataset_credential(did) for did in dataset_lux_ids
            ],  # LP-112 DatasetCredentials
            computeRequirements={

                "memory_gb": 640 if model_name == "Eco-1" else 320
            },

            startTime=int(time.time()),
            endTime=int(time.time()) + 7 * 24 * 3600  # 1 week
        )
        
        return campaign

UI Requirements (LP-500s)

Model interfaces implement LP-500 series:

interface ZooModelUI {
    // LP-501: Citation Rendering for all model outputs
    renderModelCitations(response: ModelResponse): CitationUI {
        return {
            sources: response.citations.map(c => ({
                text: c.text,
                confidence: c.confidence,
                modelComponent: c.component  // Which expert/module generated this
            })),
            aggregatedConfidence: response.overallConfidence
        }
    }
    
    // LP-502: Confidence Display with thinking tokens
    displayThinkingProcess(thoughts: ThinkingTokens): ThoughtUI {
        return {
            reasoning: thoughts.internal_monologue,
            confidence: thoughts.confidence_score,
            alternatives: thoughts.considered_alternatives,
            decision: thoughts.final_decision
        }
    }
    
    // LP-503: Model selection consent
    getModelConsent(userLuxId: string, modelName: string): Promise<boolean> {
        return showConsentDialog({
            title: `Use ${modelName} Model`,
            description: `${modelName} will process your request`,
            capabilities: this.getModelCapabilities(modelName),
            dataHandling: this.getDataPolicy(modelName),
            luxId: userLuxId
        })
    }
}
