 ## About CPR
 
-CPR ([custom prediction routines](https://github.com/googleapis/python-aiplatform/blob/custom-prediction-routine/google/cloud/aiplatform/prediction/README.md)) is a framework designed by Google Cloud developers to make it easier to combine machine learning models with custom preprocessing and postprocessing logic in a real-time serving application.

 pip install -r requirements.txt
 ```
 
+### Auth
+
+This example uses Google Cloud Storage for hosting model artifacts and Artifact Registry to store the container image. 
+You'll need to authorize yourself before you can interact with these.
+
+First, log in to GCP with application default credentials:
+```sh
+gcloud auth application-default login
+```
+
+Next, if you haven't done so already, set up the [gcloud credential helper](https://cloud.google.com/artifact-registry/docs/docker/authentication)
+for the Artifact Registry region where you intend to host the image.  
+```
+gcloud auth configure-docker <region>-docker.pkg.dev

 The `TimmPredictor` class in `timm_serving/predictor.py` implements most of the important logic for the server.

+# PyTorch Deployment on Google Cloud: Text Classification
+
+**This is an Experimental release**, covered by the Pre-GA Offerings Terms of your Google Cloud Platform [Terms of Service](https://cloud.google.com/terms).
+
+Experiments are focused on validating a prototype and are not guaranteed to be released. They are not intended for production use or covered by any SLA, support obligation, or deprecation policy and might be subject to backward-incompatible changes.
+
+**Kindly drop us a note before you run any scale tests.**
+
+**Do not hesitate to contact vertexai-prediction-preview-feedback@google.com if you have any questions or run into any issues.**
+
+The projects need to be added to the allowlist in order to deploy PyTorch models using Vertex AI Prediction pre-built PyTorch images. If you are interested in the feature, please send an email to vertexai-prediction-preview-feedback@google.com to provide your project numbers OR project ids.
+
+## Overview
+
+In the PyTorch on Google Cloud series of blog posts, we aim to share how to deploy PyTorch models at scale on [Vertex AI](https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai).
+
+This tutorial on text classification shows how to deploy a PyTorch based text classification model on [Vertex AI](https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/docs/start/client-libraries#python) using Vertex SDK and [`gcloud ai`](https://cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/beta/ai).
