Research direction
Start with the top-level README and review the current project documentation for OpenVINO Toolkit installation options, including pip, conda, Docker, and source builds. Add a quick-start example and an API reference link; the work is done when a new user can install and begin using the toolkit from the README alone.

Description
Description
The top‑level README provides only a logo, key‑feature links, and badges. It does not contain
any instructions on how to install the OpenVINO Toolkit (pip, conda, Docker, source build),
nor does it give a quick‑start example or a link to the API reference. New contributors
and users will be unable to get the library up and running from the README alone.
Severity: high
File: README
Expected Behavior
The code should handle this case properly to avoid unexpected errors or degraded quality.
