 # Model Zoo for Intel® Architecture
 
-This repository contains **links to pre-trained models, benchmarking scripts, best practices, and step-by-step tutorials** for many popular open-source machine learning models optimized by Intel to run on Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors. 
+This repository contains **links to pre-trained models, sample scripts, best practices, and step-by-step tutorials** for many popular open-source machine learning models optimized by Intel to run on Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors. 
 
 ## Purpose of the Model Zoo
 
   - Demonstrate the AI workloads and deep learning models Intel has optimized and validated to run on Intel hardware
   - Show how to efficiently execute, train, and deploy Intel-optimized models
-  - Make it easy to benchmark model performance on Intel hardware
   - Make it easy to get started running Intel-optimized models on Intel hardware in the cloud or on bare metal
 
+***DISCLAIMER: These scripts are not intended for benchmarking Intel platforms. Please see [https://www.intel.ai/blog](https://www.intel.ai/blog) for any information on performance and/or benchmarking information on specific Intel platforms.***

 ### Directory Structure
 The Model Zoo is divided into four main directories:
-- **[benchmarks](/benchmarks)**: Look here for benchmarking scripts and complete instructions on downloading and benchmarking each Intel-optimized pre-trained model.
+- **[benchmarks](/benchmarks)**: Look here for sample scripts and complete instructions on downloading and running each Intel-optimized pre-trained model.
 - **[docs](/docs)**: General best practices and detailed tutorials for a selection of models and frameworks can be found in this part of the repo. 
 - **[models](/models)**: This directory contains optimized model code that has not yet been upstreamed to its respective official repository, such as dataset processing routines. 
-  There are no user-friendly READMEs in this directory, but many supporting modules used for benchmarking are here.
+  There are no user-friendly READMEs in this directory, but many supporting modules are here.
 - **[tests](/tests)**: Look here for unit tests and information on how to run them. 
 
 The benchmarks, models, and docs folders share a common structure. Each model (or document) is organized first by *use case* and then by *framework*.
