+## 🎯 **Quick Start: Age & Gender Prediction**
+
+### **Basic Usage**
+```python
+import torch
+from transformers import ViTImageProcessor
+from PIL import Image
+import requests
+
+# Load the elite model
+model_name = "abhilash88/ViT-Age-Gender-Elite"
+processor = ViTImageProcessor.from_pretrained("google/vit-base-patch16-224")
+
+# Load your custom model architecture
+class AgeGenderViTModel(torch.nn.Module):
+    # ... (model definition from repository)
+    pass
+
+model = AgeGenderViTModel()
+model.load_state_dict(torch.load("pytorch_model.bin"))
+model.eval()
+
+# Process any face image
+image = Image.open("path/to/face/image.jpg")
+inputs = processor(images=image, return_tensors="pt")
+
+# Get predictions
+with torch.no_grad():
+    age_pred, gender_pred = model(inputs["pixel_values"])
+    
+predicted_age = int(age_pred.item())
+predicted_gender = "Female" if gender_pred.item() > 0.5 else "Male"
+confidence = gender_pred.item() if gender_pred.item() > 0.5 else 1 - gender_pred.item()
+
+print(f"🎂 Predicted Age: {predicted_age} years")
