+  }'
+```
+
+## Implementation Status
+
+### ✅ Ready for Development
+- [x] Build system and project structure
+- [x] Core tensor operations with SIMD
+- [x] HTTP server with basic routing
+- [x] OpenAI API compatibility layer
+- [x] Memory management utilities
+- [x] Benchmark framework
+
+### 🚧 Needs Implementation
+- [ ] **DeepSeek V3 Model**: Transformer architecture
+- [ ] **Attention Mechanism**: Multi-Head Latent Attention (MLA)
+- [ ] **MoE Implementation**: Expert routing and selection
+- [ ] **Tokenizer**: BPE tokenization (currently placeholder)
+- [ ] **Model Loading**: Weight file parsing and loading
+- [ ] **GPU Backends**: Metal and CUDA kernel implementations
+
+### 📋 Future Enhancements
+- [ ] Model quantization (INT8, FP16)
+- [ ] Flash Attention optimization
+- [ ] WebSocket streaming
+- [ ] Distributed inference
+- [ ] Model sharding
+
+## Code Style and Conventions
+
+### Zig Best Practices
+- Use `snake_case` for functions and variables
+- Use `PascalCase` for types and structs
+- Prefer explicit error handling with `!` and `catch`
+- Use arena allocators for request-scoped memory
+- Leverage comptime for zero-cost abstractions
+
+### Error Handling
+```zig
+// Preferred: explicit error handling
+const result = someFunction() catch |err| switch (err) {
+    error.OutOfMemory => return err,
+    error.InvalidInput => {
+        std.log.err("Invalid input provided");
+        return err;
+    },
+    else => unreachable,
+};
+
+// Use defer for cleanup
+var tensor = try Tensor.init(allocator, shape, .f32);
+defer tensor.deinit();
+```
+
+### Memory Management
+```zig
+// Use arena allocators for request scope
+var arena = std.heap.ArenaAllocator.init(allocator);
+defer arena.deinit();
+const request_allocator = arena.allocator();
+
+// Use memory pools for tensors
+var tensor_pool = TensorPool.init(allocator);
+defer tensor_pool.deinit();
+```
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+### SIMD Optimization
+- Use `@Vector` types for SIMD operations
+- Align data to cache line boundaries (64 bytes)
+- Prefer blocked algorithms for better cache locality
+
+### Backend Selection
+- **CPU**: Best for smaller models, development
+- **Metal**: Optimal for Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3)
+- **CUDA**: Best for NVIDIA GPUs with Tensor Cores
+
+### Memory Layout
+- Use structure-of-arrays (SoA) for better vectorization
+- Minimize memory allocations in hot paths
+- Leverage unified memory on Apple Silicon
+
+## Debugging and Profiling
+
+### Debug Build
+```bash
+# Build with debug symbols
+zig build -Doptimize=Debug
+
+# Run with verbose logging
+RUST_LOG=debug zig build run
+```
+
+### Performance Profiling
+```bash
+# Run benchmarks
+zig build bench
+
+# Profile with system tools
+# macOS: Instruments.app
+# Linux: perf, valgrind
+# Windows: Visual Studio Diagnostics
+```
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. **Choose an area to implement**:
+   - Core ML components (transformer, attention, MoE)
+   - Backend optimizations (Metal shaders, CUDA kernels)
+   - Web features (streaming, authentication)
+
+2. **Read the code**:
+   - Start with `src/core/root.zig` for module structure
+   - Check `src/main.zig` for the server entry point
+   - Look at `bench/main.zig` for performance testing
+
+3. **Run and experiment**:
+   - Build and run the server
+   - Try the API endpoints
+   - Run benchmarks to understand performance
+   - Read the TODOs in the code for implementation ideas
+
+4. **Contribute**:
+   - Pick a TODO item
+   - Implement and test
+   - Submit improvements
