Style identity

OpenAI-inspired Model Lab

A prompt-first AI platform language: black canvas, warm white type, rounded composer controls, restrained content grids, and concise routes into research, products, stories, and developer work.

Iconography

Use icon-only actions only when the accessible name is explicit; keep the composer arrow and pathway marks quiet so the prompt remains the focal point.

Guidelines

Do

  • Let one prompt or question dominate the first viewport.
  • Use pathway pills as a clear route into a larger product ecosystem.
  • Keep black and warm white as the primary palette with rare semantic color.
  • Make content cards readable as dated, labeled links.

Don't

  • ×Do not reproduce source marks, photography, or page copy.
  • ×Do not turn the prompt composer into a full chat transcript.
  • ×Do not add colorful gradients to the black canvas without product meaning.
  • ×Do not hide the active pathway in color alone.

Imagery

Use original abstract model diagrams, editorial cards, and quiet image placeholders that explain a product or research story. Do not reuse source marks, photography, live cards, or page imagery.

Layout

Treat the prompt composer as the first anchor, then use a long editorial rail with consistent left edges. Keep the global header quiet, allow content grids to step from three columns to one, and preserve 44px controls on mobile.

Concept

A complete visual language, ready to inspect.

Use the file tree to move between the full reference preview, implementation guidance, portable tokens, and framework-ready styles. Each surface stays focused, so you can understand the system before copying code.
