Modifications made by NOVA AI ("NOVA-1"):
  - supervised fine-tuning with LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) on a self-authored
    English / Hindi / Hinglish instruction dataset;
  - a new system prompt and assistant identity ("NOVA-1", developed by NOVA AI);
  - optional merging of the LoRA adapter into the base weights;
  - inference, evaluation, dataset-generation and API tooling in this repository.

The NOVA-1 training dataset in `data/` was written for this project. No
copyrighted books, scraped private data or third-party instruction datasets are
included. Mathematical problems are generated by code and their answers are
computed by Python, not copied.
