 # RunPod Multi-Modal AI Architecture
 
-**Clean, extensible Python-based architecture for RunPod GPU instances**
+**Clean, extensible distributed AI infrastructure spanning VPS and GPU**
 
 ## Design Principles
 
-1. **No Docker** - Direct Python execution for RunPod compatibility
-2. **Extensible** - Adding new models requires minimal code
-3. **Maintainable** - Clear structure and separation of concerns
-4. **Simple** - One command to start, easy to debug
+1. **Distributed** - VPS (UI/proxy) + GPU (models) connected via Tailscale
+2. **No Docker on GPU** - Direct Python for RunPod compatibility
+3. **Extensible** - Adding new models requires minimal code
+4. **Maintainable** - Clear structure and separation of concerns
+5. **Simple** - One command to start, easy to debug
+6. **OpenAI Compatible** - Works with standard AI tools
