+## Install
+
+```bash
+pip install alchemize-ai
+```
+
+> Note: the PyPI distribution name is `alchemize-ai` (the `alchemize` name was taken by an abandoned package), but the import name is still `alchemize`:
+>
+> ```python
+> from alchemize import compile_model
+> ```
+
+The CLI command is also `alchemize`.

 ## Quick start
 
 ```bash
 export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...
-uv sync  # or: pip install -e .
+pip install alchemize-ai  # or, for development: uv sync / pip install -e .
