-## Intended Uses & Limitations
+## Model Description
+
+SAGE introduces **latent state-action variables** between dialogue turns, enabling:
+
+- **Structured Control**: Precise management of emotional tone and conversational strategy
+- **Enhanced Emotional Intelligence**: Explicit state planning for more empathetic responses
+- **Self-Improving Pipeline**: Comprehensive training approach including:
+  - Data augmentation
+  - Dialogue-tree search
+  - Reward modeling
+  - Fine-tuning optimization
 
-### ✅ Suitable For
+This approach allows for more nuanced and contextually appropriate dialogue generation compared to traditional methods.
+
+---
 
-- Emotional / empathetic chatbots
-- Long-horizon, strategy-based dialogue systems
-- Research into structured latent-variable control in LLMs
+## Intended Uses
 
-### ⚠️ Not Recommended For
+### ✅ **Recommended Applications**
+- Emotional or empathetic chatbots
+- Long-horizon, strategy-aware conversation systems
+- Research on structured latent-variable dialogue control
+- Educational conversational AI systems
+- Customer service applications requiring emotional intelligence
 
-- Tasks outside open-domain or emotionally-aware dialogues
-- Use in high-stakes or sensitive environments without further bias/security evaluation
+### ⚠️ **Important Limitations**
+- **Not suitable** for high-stakes, safety-critical deployment without further evaluation
+- Requires additional testing for production environments
+- May need domain-specific fine-tuning for specialized applications
