+## Summary of the LLMs
 
 SlideDeck AI allows the use of different LLMs from several online providers—Azure OpenAI, Google, Cohere, Together AI, and OpenRouter. Most of these service providers offer generous free usage of relevant LLMs without requiring any billing information.  
 
-Based on several experiments, SlideDeck AI generally recommends the use of Mistral NeMo, Gemini Flash, and GPT-4o to generate the slide decks.

+## Local Development
 
 SlideDeck AI uses LLMs via different providers. To run this project by yourself, you need to use an appropriate API key, for example, in a `.env` file.
 Alternatively, you can provide the access token in the app's user interface itself (UI).
