+# Adapter Factory - Community Edition
+
+**A complete local AI training pipeline. No cloud. No API keys. No telemetry. Your hardware. Your data. Your model.**
+
+Adapter Factory is part of [GAIOS](https://melanovproducts.com) (General AI Operating System), a full suite of offline AI tools built from the ground up by Melanov Products LLC.
+
+---
+
+## What It Does
+
+Adapter Factory takes you from a base model to a fine-tuned, deployable AI in minutes - entirely on your own machine. No command line. No Python scripts. No debugging tokenizer hashes. Just a GUI that handles the full pipeline:
+
+**Download - Train - Merge - Quantize - Deploy**
+
+- **Download** base models directly within the app
+- **Train** using LoRA and QLoRA  parameter-efficient fine-tuning on your own data
+- **Merge** trained adapters back into the base model
+- **Quantize** to GGUF format for efficient local inference
+- **Deploy** your custom model to Diget (GAIOS chat interface) or any GGUF-compatible app
+
+## What Makes This Different
+
+This isn't a wrapper around someone else's API. There is no cloud dependency. Your training data never leaves your machine. Your fine-tuned models belong to you - no license complications, no usage tracking, no corporate oversight.
+
+Adapter Factory was built for people who want to own their AI, not rent it.
+
+## Tested With
+
+- NVIDIA Nemotron-Mini-4B (validated end-to-end pipeline including full tokenizer conversion)
