+# 🔍 OptiPFair Bias Visualization Tool
+
+Analyze potential biases in Large Language Models using advanced visualization techniques.
+
+## 🎯 Features
+
+- **PCA Analysis**: Visualize how model representations differ between prompt pairs in 2D space
+- **Mean Difference**: Compare average activation differences across all layers  
+- **Heatmap**: Detailed visualization of activation patterns in specific layers
+- **Model Support**: Compatible with LLaMA, Gemma, Qwen, and custom HuggingFace models
+- **Predefined Scenarios**: Ready-to-use bias testing scenarios for racial bias analysis
+
+## 🚀 How to Use
+
+1. **Check Backend Status**: Verify the system is ready
+2. **Select Model**: Choose from predefined models or specify a custom HuggingFace model
+3. **Choose Analysis Type**: Pick PCA, Mean Difference, or Heatmap visualization
+4. **Configure Parameters**: Select scenarios, component types, and layer numbers
+5. **Generate Visualization**: Click generate and download results
