 **Architecture:** Transformer with reversible layers and bit-level processing  
 **Developer:** WCNegentropy Research  
 **Release Date:** August 2025  
-**Version:** Pre-release Experimental  
+**Version:** v0.1.0 (Pre-release Experimental)

 ## Model Description
 
 BitTransformerLM is an experimental language model that processes text at the bit level rather than using traditional token-based approaches. The architecture explores potential memory efficiency improvements through reversible transformer layers and provides built-in safety monitoring through real-time telemetry.
 
+**⚠️ Important:** This is experimental research software requiring rigorous validation against established baselines before any production use.
+
 ### Architecture Details
-- **Input Processing:** Direct binary sequence processing (0/1 bits)
+- **Input Processing:** Direct binary sequence processing (0/1 bits) with parity protection
 - **Attention Mechanism:** Multi-head self-attention on bit embeddings
-- **Layer Design:** Reversible transformer blocks for memory efficiency
+- **Layer Design:** Reversible transformer blocks for memory efficiency (~50% memory savings)
 - **Safety Features:** Built-in K/C/S (Negentropy/Complexity/Symbiosis) telemetry
 - **Training Modes:** Causal autoregressive and experimental diffusion mode
+- **Sequence Length:** Configurable (16-2048 tested)
+- **Parameters:** Scalable architecture (tested from 793K to 771M parameters)
+
+### Key Innovations
