hanzo.ai redesign v1.0

hanzo.ai redesign: release notes

What this release is

A full redesign of hanzo.ai: 906 pages. That is 897 site pages (every URL in hanzo.ai's sitemap, plus the
home page) and 9 new sign-up and checkout pages (listed under "Sign-up and checkout (new)").

• The words, prices and links are the same as live hanzo.ai. The redesign changes how pages look and move, never
  what they say. Copy was checked against live hanzo.ai on 8 Nov 2026: 148 of the 152 pages checked match word for
  word. The other four differ only in live demo feeds and sample content that Hanzo rotates (see README, "Known
  differences from live").
• Light and dark. Every page follows the visitor's saved Hanzo choice, or their device setting if they have none.
• One idea per page. Each page has its own main interaction (its "signature"), so no two pages move the same way.
  The old pattern every page shared (hero, then pinned scroll chapters, then proof, then a closing band) is gone.
• Hanzo's palette only. Pages use Hanzo's black, white and greys. Colour comes from Hanzo's own model art, films
  and logos.
• The only additions are the 9 sign-up and checkout pages and a few buy buttons, listed at the end under "Added by
  design (not on live)".

Key pages

Home (/)

The hero is live hanzo.ai's own hero, kept as it is. A prompt types into the desktop app while the phone answers and
the agent roster rolls, over a dotted field that swells under the pointer. Below it:

• Backed by / Trusted by: logo marquees (white logos in dark mode, black in light).
• Models: a card grid, Enso to Mori. The Enso feature card and eight model cards fit on one screen. Each film
  plays while it is on screen, and a click opens the model's page.
• Products: a 3D journey, App to Team. On wide screens the section holds in place and scrolling moves a camera
  through Hanzo's nine products in dock order. Each one is a graphite slab carrying its own screen, beside its name,
  address and links, word for word. Drag to turn one, click to open it, or use the dock to jump to any product.
  Phones, reduced motion and browsers without 3D get the dock with a stage.
• Agents, Race, Cheaper, Pareto: live figures on speed and cost, read from Hanzo's API.
• Open source, then Pricing (from the same price list as /pricing).
• Each section fits on one screen. A quiet "on this page" index on the right edge shows where you are and jumps to
  any section.

Pricing (/pricing)

Rebuilt to the home page's standard: each section fits on one screen, over Hanzo's halftone. Every plan in the
chosen tab (Personal, Team or API) sits side by side, with its price, billing line, button and every feature. On a
phone the plans stack. Pro is marked Recommended and carries its usage switch on its card (3x, 5x, 15x, unlimited:
$15, $45, $95, $195). It never moves by itself, so the price you read is the one you get. Each paid rung goes to its
own checkout, as on live. "Compare plans" is now a rising stair of the personal plans: each step shows its price, the
three lines that differ and its own "Try Hanzo" button, and "Read more" opens the full line-by-line table. Enso's
per-token rates sit in a dark room of their own. Team has a seat mixer.

Chat (/chat)

Rebuilt to the home page's standard: each section fits on one screen. "Ask anything. Enso picks the model." sits over
a working chat window. It runs itself once: the question visibly routes through Enso to the model that answers, then
it rests with a replay button. A prompt in the hero lets you type a question and land in Hanzo Chat. Chat's six tools
are now the page's dark room, a set of tiles that opens like a curtain. Then comes a card for whichever model answers:
point at a name to swap the card, and open it to go to that model's page. The page closes on "Ask anything" as a real
prompt, beside the three personal plans with working Go and Pro checkouts.

Models (/models)

Rebuilt to the home page's standard: each section fits on one screen. The first screen is Hanzo's model grid, drawn
as live hanzo.ai draws it. Films play, and a light follows the pointer or walks the cards as you scroll. Any card
opens into its model's page. Further down:

• the catalogue, now the centrepiece: every model in one list, filtered by family, price or search, each row with its
  price in and out per million tokens and "Use it now";
• the three families as tiles in the page's dark room;
• Enso against Zen, and Kai's benchmark figures;
• a sample request that swaps its model by itself, with "Get free API key".

A collapsed "Every model" list links all 544 model and maker pages from here.

About (/about)

Rebuilt to the home page's standard: each section fits on one screen. "Chasing the Pareto Frontier of AI" sits over
the frontier itself, full width. The frontier draws itself, and pointing at it reads out the year under your hand.
Hanzo's statement lights up word by word as you read it. The six reasons Hanzo builds are tiles that grow into full
sheets you can page through. The lede's four trade-offs are switches, and none turns another off ("Pick two? Keep all
four."). The open-source section is the page's dark room, the four runtimes are lit plates that tilt in, and the page
closes on "Try Hanzo" and "Book a call". The old pinned scene is gone.

Dev (/dev)

Rebuilt to the home page's standard: each section fits on one screen. "Describe the change. Dev ships it." Dev works
in a session that runs by itself. Beside it, the changed file is a before/after slider: when the change lands, the
divider sweeps across on its own, then you can drag it. The hero offers "Get Hanzo Dev, $8/month" (Go's checkout)
beside "Open Dev". Below:

• the race in the page's dark room ("3.02× faster on the same coding tasks"), where each side replays its median
  task at the speed it actually ran;
• where Dev runs (terminal, web, cloud, Slack), on a rail you can throw;
• install as three tabs, then the source, questions and a paste-into-any-agent line;
• a close that repeats the headline and the Go offer.

Enso (/enso)

Rebuilt to the home page's standard: each section fits on one screen. Prices and a way to buy are now in the first
screen: Hanzo's own hero over a band of the three tiers (Flash, Pro, Ultra), each with its prices in and out, what it
is for, and "Try Hanzo". The page's main piece is a switchboard in a dark room that opens like a curtain. Requests
stream through Enso, which sends each to the tier made for it, and you can send Hanzo's own task words by hand. Then
come the models as tiles and the GPQA Diamond explorer ("A New Pareto Frontier of Intelligence"), which puts any
model beside Enso's three tiers in a table you can sort by score or by cost. In dark mode the particle ring draws in
the light foreground colour (it was invisible before).

Bot (/bot)

The org chart is the hero. Someone mentions a bot, a packet runs down the chart to that bot and across to the
teammate who checks its work, and the thread fills in underneath, ten channels in turn. A slider ("How many bots do
you need?", 1 to 10) lights the smallest plan that includes that many bots.

Enterprise (/enterprise)

The hero is Hanzo's workspace writing its audit log inside four walls: Hanzo Cloud, your cloud, your servers,
air-gapped. The four places then appear as a tight list. Each row opens in place into its full detail. A prefill
tool shows how long Zen 6 takes to read prompts of different sizes on one DGX Spark, from Hanzo's measurements. The
repeated deployment block and the second dark room are gone.

Studio (/studio)

Rebuilt to the home page's standard: each section fits on one screen. The hero is the product: a monitor and a
multi-track timeline that play by themselves. Grab the playhead and it's yours. "See plans, from $8/month" sits right
beside "Launch". Then comes one cinema screen in a dark room: the curtain and letterbox open as you arrive, and
Hanzo's camera moves (Dolly In, Crane Rise, 360° Orbit) run on stills one after another, or pick one to hold it. The
six creative models sit on a lit film strip, and each frame opens its model page. "Studio or Design?" points you to
the right product, and the page closes on a three-step ladder: launch Studio, see plans, or open Design.

Benchmarks (/benchmarks)

A model launch told as a story, rebuilt to the home page's standard: each section fits on one screen and opens to
the rest through tabs, folds and sheets. Right under the headline is a live race at Hanzo's measured ratios, and you
pick what races: Zen 6 builds, D-LSA against full attention at a chosen context length, or the agent CodeRace
scenarios. Every result now has a way to buy beside it ("Start on Hanzo Cloud", plus Go or "View Models & Pricing").
Zen 6 has a dark room that opens like a curtain, and Kai's sixteen suites are tiles that tilt in and open to their
full numbers. Tick the suites that look like your work and the summary re-adds itself for just those. The pinned
chapters and scroll wipes are gone.

Agents (/agents)

A dark room with Koma's film. A numbered terminal runs the five sign-up steps once. "Questions" is a conversation:
pick a question and Hanzo answers on screen, word by word, in the page's own words. The headless sign-up code is a
plain numbered block, and each step marks its own lines. Nothing pins.

Blog (/blog)

A magazine front page, rebuilt to the home page's standard: each section fits on one screen. Under the "News &
Guides." masthead, the six latest posts take the cover in turn, each with its own art plate, and the plate swings
back in 3D like a turning cover. Hover or tap a headline in the index to bring it to the cover. The masthead lede
lights up word by word. The contents are now one pane beside the publishing strip, which shows every month Hanzo has
posted in. Tap a month to narrow the pane to it. Each post now ends in a dark room with its own pr...
