+# 🎨 ArtFlow: Reasoning-Native Artistic Image Generation for Mobile Devices
+
+## A Novel Architecture for Intelligent, Lightweight Illustration Generation
+
+**Version:** 1.0  
+**Status:** Architecture Specification + Prototype Implementation  
+**Target:** 2-4GB RAM, 1024px native generation, anime/illustration focus  
+
+### 🔬 Validated Prototype Results
+```
+📊 Parameter Count: 114.7M (backbone only, without text encoder/VAE)
+💾 Model Memory: 229 MB (FP16) / 115 MB (INT8)
+📱 Total inference: ~235 MB (well under 2GB mobile budget)
+🌊 Wavelet reconstruction: perfect (error < 1e-7)
+🔀 Zigzag scan: perfect round-trip
+✅ Forward pass: correct shapes
+✅ Backward pass: no NaN/Inf gradients
+```
+
+See `ARCHITECTURE.md` for the complete 1000+ line technical specification, and `artflow_model.py` for the validated PyTorch implementation.
