 # Overview
 
 GaiaNet is a decentralized computing infrastructure that enables everyone to create, deploy, scale, and monetize their own AI agents that reflect their styles, values, knowledge, and expertise.

 * an OpenAI compatible API. [See how](user-guide/apps/dify) to use a GaiaNet node as a drop-in OpenAI replacement in your favorite AI agent app. 
 
-The API approach allows any agent application in the OpenAI ecosystem, which is 100% of AI agents today, to use GaiaNet as an alternative to OpenAI. Furthermore, while the OpenAI API is backed by a handful of models to give generic responses, each GaiaNet node can be heavily customized with a finetuned model supplemented by domain knowledge. For example, a GaiaNet node for a financial analyst agent can write SQL code to query SEC 10K filings to respond to user questions. 
+100% of today's AI agents are applications in the OpenAI ecosystem. With our API approach, GaiaNet is an alternative to OpenAI. Each GaiaNet node has the ability to be customized with a fine-tuned model supplemented by domain knowledge which eliminates the generic responses many have come to expect. For example, a GaiaNet node for a financial analyst agent can write SQL code to query SEC 10K filings to respond to user questions. 
 
-Similar GaiaNet nodes are organized into GaiaNet domains, which provide stable services by load balancing across the nodes. GaiaNet domains have public-facing URLs and promote agent services to their communities. When a user or an agent app sends an API request to the domain's API endpoint URL, the domain is responsible for directing the request to a node that is ready.

 # Quick start with GaiaNet Node
+This guide provides the requisite knowledge necessary to quickly get started with installing a GaiaNet node. 
 
-First, let's install GaiaNet a one-line installer on Mac, Linux, or Windows WSL. This installer will download the latest version of GaiaNet Node. Learn more about [system requirements](system-requirements).
+### Prerequisites
+Before you get started, ensure that you have the following on your system:
+
+| System | Minimum Requirements |
+|---|---|
+| OSX with Apple Silicon (M1-M4 chip) | 16GB RAM (32GB recommended) |
+| Ubuntu Linux 20.04 with Nvidia CUDA 12 SDK | 8GB VRAM on GPU |
+| Azure/AWS | Nvidia T4 GPU Instance |
+
+Learn more about [system requirements](system-requirements).
+
+### Installing the node
+
+1.  Use the following command to download the latest version of the GaiaNet node:
 
 ```
 curl -sSfL 'https://github.com/GaiaNet-AI/gaianet-node/releases/latest/download/install.sh' | bash
 ```
 
-Next, run the command printed on the terminal to set up the environment path. The command is started with `source`.

 in `$HOME/gaianet/config.json`.
 By default, the GaiaNet is initialized with a [Phi-3](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/introducing-phi-3-redefining-whats-possible-with-slms/) LLM and a [knowledge base about Paris](https://huggingface.co/datasets/gaianet/paris). 
 This command could take some time since it will download a very large LLM file.

+4. Use the following command to start your node:
 
 ```

-Upon a successful start, the command prints a public URL for the node. You can open a browser to that URL to see the node information and then chat with the AI agent on the node.

 ```
 gaianet stop

 ## Next steps
 
-* [Customize](customize.md) your node. You probably do not wish to just run the default Phi-3 model and Paris knowledge base. 
-* [Register](register.md) and join the GaiaNet protocol network to receive payments.
-* [Protect](tasks/protect.md) the node server to ensure stable service.
-* Install and manage [multiple nodes](tasks/multiple.md) on a single machine.

 GaiaNet node software is designed to be cross-platform, allowing it to run on various CPU and GPU architectures. The GaiaNet installer automatically detects the presence of NVIDIA CUDA drivers and leverages the power of GPU accelerators on the device. More hardwares support are on the way.
 
 ### GPU
