  Rephrase the README's opening to emphasize advanced citations and RAG

  Why:

  CURRENT

  LARS is an application that enables you to run LLM's (Large Language Models) locally on your device, upload your own documents and engage in conversations wherein the LLM grounds its responses with your uploaded content. This grounding helps increase accuracy and reduce the common issue of AI-generated inaccuracies or "hallucinations." This technique is commonly known as "Retrieval Augmented Generation", or RAG.

  COPY-PASTE FIX

  Copy

  LARS is the ultimate open-source RAG-centric LLM application, designed to run LLMs locally with your documents. It uniquely provides *detailed, verifiable citations* (including document names, page numbers, text-highlighting, and images) directly within generated responses, effectively eliminating hallucinations and building trust in AI-generated content.
