+
+Helm chart that installs `AIMClusterModelSource` resources. It renders one of
+two mutually exclusive branches, selected by `hardwareFamilies`:
+
+- **Legacy (default):** when `hardwareFamilies` is empty, the chart installs the
+  full set of generic `amd-aim-release-*` model sources (versions 0.8.5, 0.9.0,
+  0.10.0, 0.11.0), unchanged from the pre-chart directory app.
+- **Per-hardware-family profiles:** when `hardwareFamilies` is non-empty, the
+  chart installs only the `AIMClusterModelSource` resources for the listed
+  families. The legacy generic sources are not installed.
+
+## `hardwareFamilies`
+
+A YAML list (the primary form) or a comma-separated string. Allowed values:
+`cpu`, `epyc`, `instinct`, `radeon`. Empty (the default) selects the legacy
+branch.
+
+```yaml
+hardwareFamilies:
+  - epyc
+  - instinct
+```
+
+| Family | Source name | Registry | Notes |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `instinct` | `amd-aim-instinct-0.12.0` | docker.io | works today |
+| `epyc` | `amd-aim-epyc-0.11.0` | docker.io | works today |
+| `cpu` | `amd-aim-cpu-0.12.0-rc1` | ghcr.io | placeholder, image pull fails until a docker.io release exists |
+| `radeon` | `amd-aim-radeon-0.12.0-rc1` | ghcr.io | placeholder, image pull fails until a docker.io release exists |
+
+`instinct` and `radeon` are GPU families; `cpu` and `epyc` are CPU inference
+targets. `cpu` and `radeon` are only available as `-rc1` on `ghcr.io` and
+require the `ghcr-regcred` pull secret, which this cluster does not provision.
+They are pinned as placeholders, their pull will fail until the team publishes a
+docker.io version.
+
+## Installing
+
+This chart is normally driven by cluster-bloom via the `AIM_HARDWARE_FAMILY`
+install flag, which injects the selected families as a YAML list into
+`apps.aim-cluster-model-source.valuesObject.hardwareFamilies` (see the
+cluster-forge `root` chart). No comma parsing is involved on that path, the
+value travels as a structured list.
+
+For a manual `helm` install, prefer a values file or pass a JSON list. A
+comma-separated string also works because the chart splits it, but note that
+Helm's `--set` and `--set-string` both treat a comma as a list separator and
+will silently drop a multi-value string, so use `--set-json` for the list form:
+
+```bash
+helm install ... --set-json 'hardwareFamilies=["epyc","instinct"]'
+```
