+Great, now I need to generate images for this. Before I used the following prompts (2 releases before).

+// An image of a capybara sculpted entirely from black cotton candy, set against a minimalist backdrop with splashes of bright, contrasting sparkles. The capybara is using a computer with split screen made of origami, split keyboard and is wearing origami sunglasses with very different split reflections. Split halves are very contrasting. Close up photography, bokeh, white background.

-
-To download and run this Typescript/React/Next.js project locally, the only prerequisite is Node.js with the `npm` package manager.
-Clone this repo, install the dependencies (all local), and run the development server (which auto-watches the
-files for changes):
-
-```bash
-git clone https://github.com/enricoros/big-agi.git
-cd big-agi
-npm install
-npm run dev
-
-# You will see something like:
-#
-#  ▲ Next.js 14.1.0
-#  - Local: http://localhost:3000
-#  ✓ Ready in 2.6s
-```
-
-The development app will be running on `http://localhost:3000`. Development builds have the advantage of not requiring
-a build step, but can be slower than production builds. Also, development builds won't have timeout on edge functions.
-
-## 🛠️ Deploy from source
-
-The _production_ build of the application is optimized for performance and is performed by the `npm run build` command,
-after installing the required dependencies.
-
-```bash
-# .. repeat the steps above up to `npm install`, then:
-npm run build
-next start --port 3000
-```
-
-The app will be running on the specified port, e.g. `http://localhost:3000`.
-
-Want to deploy with username/password? See the [Authentication](docs/deploy-authentication.md) guide.
-
-## 🐳 Deploy with Docker
-
-For more detailed information on deploying with Docker, please refer to the [docker deployment documentation](docs/deploy-docker.md).
-
-Build and run:
-
-```bash
-docker build -t big-agi .
-docker run -d -p 3000:3000 big-agi
-``` 
-
-Or run the official container:
-
-- manually: `docker run -d -p 3000:3000 ghcr.io/enricoros/big-agi`
-- or, with docker-compose: `docker-compose up` or see [the documentation](docs/deploy-docker.md) for a composer file with integrated browsing

+# Installation Guide
+
+Welcome to the big-AGI Installation Guide - Whether you're a developer
+eager to explore, a system integrator, or an enterprise looking for a
+white-label solution, this comprehensive guide ensures a smooth setup
+process for your own instance of big-AGI and related products.
+
+**Try big-AGI** - You don't need to install anything if you want to play with big-AGI
+and have your API keys to various model services. You can access our free instance on [big-AGI.com](https://big-agi.com).
+The free instance runs the latest `main-stable` branch from this repository.
+
+## 🧩 Build-your-own
+
+If you want to change the code, have a deeper configuration,
+add your own models, or run your own instance, follow the steps below.
+
+### Local Development
+
+**Prerequisites:**
+
+- Node.js and npm installed on your machine.
+
+**Steps:**
+
+1. Clone the big-AGI repository:
+   ```bash
+   git clone https://github.com/enricoros/big-AGI.git
+   cd big-AGI
+   ```
+2. Install dependencies:
+   ```bash
+   npm install
+   ```
+3. Run the development server:
+   ```bash
+   npm run dev
+   ```
+   Your big-AGI instance is now running at `http://localhost:3000`.
+
+### Local Production build
+
+The production build is optimized for performance and follows
+the same steps 1 and 2 as for [local development](#local-development).
+
+3. Build the production version:
+   ```bash
+   # .. repeat the steps above up to `npm install`, then:
+   npm run build
+   ```
+4. Start the production server (`npx` may be optional):
+   ```bash
+   npx next start --port 3000
+   ```
+   Your big-AGI production instance is on `http://localhost:3000`.
+
+### Advanced Customization
+
+Want to pre-enable models, customize the interface, or deploy with username/password or alter code to your needs?
+Check out the [Customizations Guide](README.md) for detailed instructions.
+
+## ☁️ Cloud Deployment Options
+
+To deploy big-AGI on a public server, you have several options. Choose the one that best fits your needs.
+
+### Deploy on Vercel
+
+Install big-AGI on Vercel with just a few clicks.
+
+Create your GitHub fork, create a Vercel project over that fork, and deploy it. Or press the button below for convenience.
+
+[![Deploy with Vercel](https://vercel.com/button)](https://vercel.com/new/clone?repository-url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fenricoros%2Fbig-AGI&env=OPENAI_API_KEY&envDescription=Backend%20API%20keys%2C%20optional%20and%20may%20be%20overridden%20by%20the%20UI.&envLink=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fenricoros%2Fbig-AGI%2Fblob%2Fmain%2Fdocs%2Fenvironment-variables.md&project-name=big-AGI)
+
+### Deploy on Cloudflare
+
+Deploy on Cloudflare's global network by installing big-AGI on
+Cloudflare Pages. Check out the [Cloudflare Installation Guide](deploy-cloudflare.md)
+for step-by-step instructions.
+
+### Docker Deployments
+
+Containerize your big-AGI installation using Docker for portability and scalability.
+Our [Docker Deployment Guide](deploy-docker.md) will walk you through the process,
+or follow the steps below for a quick start.
+
+1. (optional) Build the Docker image - if you do not want to use the [pre-built Docker images](https://github.com/enricoros/big-AGI/pkgs/container/big-agi):
+   ```bash
+   docker build -t big-agi .
+   ```
+2. Run the Docker container with either:
+   ```bash
+   # 2A. if you built the image yourself:
+   docker run -d -p 3000:3000 big-agi
+
+   # 2B. or use the pre-built image:
+   docker run -d -p 3000:3000 ghcr.io/enricoros/big-agi
+
+   # 2C. or use docker-compose:
+   docker-compose up
+   ```
+   Access your big-AGI instance at `http://localhost:3000`.
+
+### Midori AI Subsystem for Docker Deployment
+
+Follow the instructions found on [Midori AI Subsystem Site](https://io.midori-ai.xyz/subsystem/manager/)
+for your host OS. After completing the setup process, install the Big-AGI docker backend to the Midori AI Subsystem.
