-## 💜 About Me
-I'm **Cartik**, an independent developer working on artificial intelligence, language models, developer tools, APIs, and experimental software projects.
-My mission is to explore what's possible with AI, develop useful technologies, and make powerful tools more accessible to developers and everyday users.

-## 🧠 Upcoming AI Project: Sonexa-1 Hyperion
-**Sonexa-1 Hyperion** is a planned experimental language model project focused on independent training, evaluation, and AI research.
-### 🔥 Path A — Training from Scratch
-![Fundraising goal](https://img.shields.io/badge/Fundraising_Goal-%24100-8b5cf6?style=flat-square)
-If total donations reach **$100**, I plan to begin the training-from-scratch path, subject to available computing resources and a realistic training budget.
-Planned work:
-- Design the model architecture.
-- Prepare and process training datasets.
-- Develop a tokenizer and data pipeline where needed.
-- Train using available GPU resources.
-- Evaluate generation quality and identify weaknesses.
-- Improve the model and document the results.
-**Important:** $100 is a fundraising milestone to help initiate development. It does not guarantee that all training, hosting, and deployment costs will be covered.
 ### ⚡ Path B — Knowledge Distillation
-If training from scratch is not feasible, I may experiment with knowledge distillation.
 | Role | Planned model |
 |---|---|
-| Student | Qwen2.5-0.5B |
-| Teacher | Qwen3.8-27B, subject to availability and verification |
-The goal is to investigate whether a smaller model can learn useful response patterns from a larger teacher model while remaining easier to run on limited hardware.
-This is a planned experiment, not a claim that distillation has already been completed.
-### 🎯 Project Goals
 - Better conversational response quality.
-- More efficient small-model inference.
 - Practical training and evaluation workflows.
-- AI experimentation on limited hardware.
 - Transparent documentation of development progress.

+</p>
+**Sonexa-1 Hyperion** is a planned experimental language model project focused on model training, evaluation, and independent AI research.
+There are two possible development paths.
+### 🔥 Path A — Train From Scratch
+<p>
+  <img src="https://img.shields.io/static/v1?label=FUNDRAISING%20MILESTONE&message=%24100&color=ec4899&style=for-the-badge" alt="100 dollar fundraising milestone">
+</p>
+If total donations reach **$100**, I plan to begin the training-from-scratch path, depending on available computing resources and the practical training budget.
+Planned work includes:
+- Designing the model architecture.
+- Preparing and processing training data.
+- Building a tokenizer and data pipeline where needed.
+- Training with available GPU resources.
+- Evaluating model quality and identifying weaknesses.
+- Improving the model and documenting the results.
+> **Important:** $100 is a fundraising milestone intended to help start development. It is not a guarantee that the entire training, hosting, and deployment process will be funded.
 ### ⚡ Path B — Knowledge Distillation
+If training from scratch is not feasible, I may investigate knowledge distillation.
 | Role | Planned model |
 |---|---|
+| 🎓 Student | `Qwen2.5-0.5B` |
+| 🧠 Teacher | `Qwen3.8-27B` — subject to availability and verification |
+The objective is to explore whether a smaller model can learn useful response patterns from a larger teacher model while remaining easier to run on limited hardware.
+The exact method will depend on model availability, licensing, technical compatibility, and compute resources. This is a planned experiment, not a claim that distillation has already been completed.
+### 🎯 What I Want to Explore
+<p>
+  <img src="https://img.shields.io/static/v1?label=GOAL&message=BETTER%20RESPONSES&color=6366f1&style=flat-square" alt="Better responses">

+  <img src="https://img.shields.io/static/v1?label=GOAL&message=OPEN%20EXPERIMENTS&color=ec4899&style=flat-square" alt="Open experiments">
+</p>
 - Better conversational response quality.
+- More efficient inference on small models.
 - Practical training and evaluation workflows.
+- AI experimentation with limited hardware.
 - Transparent documentation of development progress.
+The final model size, capabilities, performance, and release format will depend on actual results.
