+# Databricks DBRX Instruct Truss
+
+This Truss packages the DBRX-Instruct model from Databricks. DBRX-Instruct is an instruction-following language model that can be used for various language tasks.
+
+## Deploying
+
+To deploy this model using Truss, follow these steps:
+
+1. Clone this repo
+2. Set up a Baseten account and install the Truss CLI
+3. Run `truss deploy` to deploy the model on Baseten
+
+## Model Overview
+
+// TODO: Add a brief overview of the DBRX-Instruct model and its key capabilities
+
+## API Documentation
+
+// TODO: Document the key API endpoints, request parameters, and response format
+
+## Example Usage
+
+// TODO: Provide example code snippets demonstrating how to use the deployed model via its API
