 # Features
 
-As deep learning practitioners, we have been looking for a library that can address various development
- purposes. This library is easy to adopt by providing diverse examples, tutorials and pre-trained models.
-Also, it allow users to easily fine-tune TensorFlow; while being suitable for production deployment. TensorLayer aims to satisfy all these purposes. It has three key features:
+TensorLayer is a new deep learning library designed with simplicity, flexibility and high-performance in mind.
 
-- ***Simplicity*** : TensorLayer lifts the low-level dataflow interface of TensorFlow to *high-level* layers / models. It is very easy to learn through the rich [example codes](https://github.com/tensorlayer/awesome-tensorlayer) contributed by a wide community.
-- ***Flexibility*** : TensorLayer APIs are transparent: it does not mask TensorFlow from users; but leaving massive hooks that help *low-level tuning* and *deep customization*.
-- ***Zero-cost Abstraction*** : TensorLayer can achieve the *full power* of TensorFlow. The following table shows the training speeds of [VGG16](http://www.robots.ox.ac.uk/~vgg/research/very_deep/) using TensorLayer and native TensorFlow on a TITAN Xp.
+- ***Simplicity*** : TensorLayer has a high-level layer/model abstraction which is effortless to learn. You can learn how deep learning can benefit your AI tasks in minutes through the massive [examples](https://github.com/tensorlayer/awesome-tensorlayer).
+- ***Flexibility*** : TensorLayer APIs are transparent and flexible, inspired by the emerging PyTorch library. Compared to the Keras abstraction, TensorLayer makes it much easier to build and train complex AI models.
+- ***Zero-cost Abstraction*** : Though simple to use, TensorLayer does not require you to make any compromise in the performance of TensorFlow (Check the following benchmark section for more details).

+TensorLayer is NOT yet another library in the TensorFlow world. Other wrappers like Keras and TFLearn
+hide many powerful features of TensorFlow and provide little support for writing custom, complex AI models.  Inspired by PyTorch, TensorLayer APIs are simple, flexible and most importantly, pythonic.
+TensorLayer has a fast-growing community. It has been used by researchers and engineers all over the world, including those from  Peking University,
+Imperial College London, UC Berkeley, Carnegie Mellon University, Stanford University, and companies like Google, Microsoft, Alibaba, Tencent, Xiaomi, and Bloomberg.
 
+# Multilingual documents
 
-TensorLayer stands at a unique spot in the library landscape. Other wrapper libraries like Keras and TFLearn also provide high-level abstractions. They, however, often
-hide the underlying engine from users, which make them hard to customize
-and fine-tune. On the contrary, TensorLayer APIs are generally lightweight, flexible and transparent.
-Users often find it easy to start with the examples and tutorials, and then dive
-into TensorFlow seamlessly. In addition, TensorLayer does not create library lock-in through native supports for importing components from Keras.
+TensorLayer has extensive documentation for both beginners and professionals. The documentation is available in
+both English and Chinese.
