## Core Mission
Create an AI-powered system that generates telecom industry news articles in the distinctive style of **Iain Morris** from Light Reading, capturing his analytical writing style, technical expertise, and slightly irreverent tone.

## Project Scope
Build a complete article generation pipeline that:
1. Scrapes articles by Iain Morris from Light Reading

4. Deploys a Gradio app for interactive article generation

## Success Criteria
- **Primary**: Generate coherent, technically accurate telecom articles
- **Secondary**: Capture Iain Morris's distinctive cynical, doom-laden voice
- **Technical**: Fast generation (2-5 seconds), memory efficient operation
- **Usability**: Simple web interface for non-technical users

## Current Achievement Level
**Phase 1 Complete ✅**: Basic fine-tuning working with coherent content generation
**Phase 2 Target 🎯**: Enhanced style authenticity (70% → 90%+ style accuracy)

## Key Constraints
- **Hardware**: Optimized for Apple Silicon M1/M2/M3 chips
- **Memory**: Must operate within 8GB RAM efficiently
- **Ethics**: Educational/research use only, requires human review before publication
- **Legal**: Respectful use of publicly available content with proper attribution
