+# ☮️ Deploying open source LLMs using MLOps pipelines with vLLM
+
+Welcome to your newly generated "ZenML LLM vLLM deployment project" project! This is
+a great way to get hands-on with ZenML using production-like template.
+The project contains a collection of ZenML steps, pipelines and other artifacts
+and useful resources that can serve as a solid starting point for deploying open-source LLMs using ZenML.
+
+Using these pipelines, we can run the data-preparation and model finetuning with a single command while using YAML files for [configuration](https://docs.zenml.io/user-guide/production-guide/configure-pipeline) and letting ZenML take care of tracking our metadata and [containerizing our pipelines](https://docs.zenml.io/how-to/customize-docker-builds).
+
+<TODO: Add image from ZenML Cloud for pipeline here>
+
+## 🏃 How to run
+
+In this project, we will deploy the [gpt-2](https://huggingface.co/openai-community/gpt2) model using [vLLM](https://docs.vllm.ai/en/latest/). Before we're able to run any pipeline, we need to set up our environment as follows:
+
+```bash
+# Set up a Python virtual environment, if you haven't already
+python3 -m venv .venv
+source .venv/bin/activate
+
+# Install requirements
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+Run the deployment pipeline
+
+```bash
+python run.py
+```
+
+## 📜 Project Structure
+
+The project loosely follows [the recommended ZenML project structure](https://docs.zenml.io/how-to/setting-up-a-project-repository/best-practices):
+
+```

+├── steps                                        # logically grouped `zenml.steps` implementations
+│   ├── vllm_deployer.py                         # deploy model using vllm
