+# SynLayers Stage 2
+
+This repository contains the Stage 2 checkpoints and runtime assets for SynLayers, our real-world image layer decomposition system.
+
+The main assets in this repo are:
+
+- `SynLayers_checkpoints/FLUX.1-dev`
+- `SynLayers_checkpoints/FLUX.1-dev-Controlnet-Inpainting-Alpha`
+- `SynLayers_ckpt/step_120000`
+- `ckpt/trans_vae/0008000.pt`
+- `ckpt/pre_trained_LoRA`
+- `ckpt/prism_ft_LoRA`
+
+These assets are used by the public SynLayers demo:
+[SynLayers/synlayers](https://huggingface.co/spaces/SynLayers/synlayers)
+
+The full pipeline uses:
+
+1. Stage 1 bbox + whole-caption prediction from [`SynLayers/Bbox-caption-8b`](https://huggingface.co/SynLayers/Bbox-caption-8b)
+2. Stage 2 layer decomposition from this repository
+
+This repo is intended for the SynLayers decomposition pipeline rather than a single generic `DiffusionPipeline(prompt)` model.
