+
+## 🚀 Quickstart: The One Working Moment
+
+### 1. Instant POSIX Bootstrap (No toolchains, no cmake)
+```bash
+curl -sSL https://litrun.dev/install | sh
+```
+*Or via pip:*
+```bash
+pip install litrun
+```
+
+### 2. Inspect Hardware Vector Capabilities (<5ms)
+```bash
+litrun inspect
+```
+
+### 3. Run Your First Model With Zero Guesswork
+```bash
+litrun run qwen2.5-0.5b
+```
+
+```text
+→ Detected: Raspberry Pi 5 Model B (BCM2712 Cortex-A76, 8192 MB RAM)
+→ Selected: qwen2.5-0.5b-Q4_K_M (optimal RAM envelope: 900MB required / 6800MB free)
+→ Binary:   pulling precompiled ARM64 a76+dotprod build... done [cached]
+→ Model:    streaming weights from HuggingFace (397MB)... done
+→ Warmup complete. Running at 14.2 tokens/sec on 4 threads. Type to interact.

+> Hello litrun! How do you prevent out-of-memory crashes on embedded devices?
+litrun: I integrate a dedicated C resource governor that inspects Linux memory
+cgroups and /proc/meminfo before model allocation, preventing kernel OOM-killer panics.
+```

+## 🧠 Why Litrun Exists
+
+| The Amateur Edge AI Struggle | The Litrun Way |
+| :--- | :--- |
+| **45-minute on-device compilation** on Pi 4 that thermal throttles and crashes during linking. | **Instant prebuilt binaries** cross-compiled per microarchitecture (Cortex-A72 NEON, Cortex-A76 DotProd). |
+| **Quantization guesswork**: Devs guess between Q4_K_M, Q5_K_S, IQ3_XS without knowing if RAM + KV cache fits. | **Hardware-aware envelope**: Evaluates free RAM + KV cache before launch, picking optimal accuracy safely. |
+| **Silent kernel panics**: Linux OOM-killer randomly terminates services or hangs the board. | **Active Resource Governor**: Hard memory ceilings and dynamic thermal throttling. |
+| **Disjoint vendor APIs**: llama.cpp, ONNX Runtime, and RKNN share zero API commonality. | **Unified Interface**: One CLI, Python SDK (`from litrun import Model`), and drop-in OpenAI REST API. |

+## 🏛️ System Architecture
+
+Litrun is architected in 5 decoupled layers:
+
+```
+┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│  LAYER 1: User Surface (CLI, Python SDK, REST Server)  │
+│  litrun run/pull/list/inspect/serve • from litrun import Model  │

+
+## 💻 Python SDK Usage
+
+```python
+from litrun import Model, probe_hardware, poll_governor
+
+# 1. Inspect hardware and active memory governor
+hw = probe_hardware()
+print(f"Board: {hw.board_name} | Profile: {hw.profile_id}")
+print(f"Vector Acceleration: NEON={hw.has_neon}, DotProd={hw.has_dotprod}")
+
+# 2. Automatically resolves hardware, checks RAM envelope, pulls weights
+model = Model.load("qwen2.5-0.5b")
+
+# 3. Stream tokens in real time
+for chunk in model.stream("Summarize industrial sensor telemetry:"):
+    print(chunk, end="", flush=True)
+
+# 4. Or launch the local OpenAI-compatible REST server
+# model.serve(host="0.0.0.0", port=8080)
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🌐 OpenAI-Compatible REST Server
+
+Drop Litrun directly into LangChain, LlamaIndex, AutoGen, or web frontends:
+
+```bash
+litrun serve --port 8080 qwen2.5-0.5b
+```
+
+Send standard OpenAI completions:
+
+```bash
+curl http://localhost:8080/v1/chat/completions \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "model": "qwen2.5-0.5b",
+    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Explain edge computing in one sentence."}],
+    "stream": true
+  }'
+```
+
+Query live hardware and thermal telemetry via REST:
+```bash
+curl http://localhost:8080/v1/hardware
+```
