 Welcome to Caffe
 ================
 
-Caffe is a framework for the recent convolutional neural networks algorithms, developed with speed in mind. It is written and maintained by [Yangqing Jia](http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/~jiayq/) as a replacement of [decaf](http://decaf.berkeleyvision.org/), the python implementation of CNNs. Several [Berkeley vision group](http://ucbvlc.org/) members are actively contributing to the codebase.

 Why Caffe?
 ----------
 
-Caffe aims to expand deep learning research by providing computer vision scientists easier access to state-of-the-art deep learning implementations. At the same time, caffe also aims for fast computation that fits industry needs, with codes in C++/Cuda providing maximum performance through efficient GPU computations. Being able to process more than **20 million images per day**\*, Caffe is currently the fastest GPU CNN implementation publicly available.
+Caffe aims to provide computer vision scientists with a **clean, modifiable implementation** of state-of-the-art deep learning algorithms.
+For example, network structure is easily specified in separate config files, with no mess of hard-coded parameters in the code.
 
-Caffe also provides **seamless switch between CPU and GPU**, which allows one to train models with fast GPUs, but to still have the flexibility of deploying models on cheaper, non-GPU clusters, with only one line of code necessary:

+Caffe also provides **seamless switching between CPU and GPU**, which allows one to train models with fast GPUs and then deploy them on non-GPU clusters with one line of code: `Caffe::set_mode(Caffe::CPU)`.
+
+Even in CPU mode, computing predictions on an image takes only 200 ms.

 Installation
 ================
 
-Here are some installation notes on various platforms. We have used Ubuntu 12.04 for development, so here describes the step-to-step guide on installing caffe with Ubuntu. You will be able to install Caffe on other platforms but you may need to tinker with paths in `Makefile.config` and maybe `Makefile` a little bit.
