+# TorchAO
+
+[TorchAO](https://github.com/pytorch/ao) is an architecture optimization library for PyTorch, it provides high performance dtypes, optimization techniques and kernels for inference and training.
+
+Before you begin, make sure the following libraries are installed with their latest version:
+
+```bash
+pip install --upgrade torch torchao-nightly
+```
+
+
+```py
+from transformers import TorchAOConfig, AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
+
+model_name = "meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B"
+quantization_config = TorchAOConfig("int4_weight_only", group_size=128)
+quantized_model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name, device_map="auto", quantization_config=quantization_config)
+
+tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
+input_text = "What are we having for dinner?"
+input_ids = tokenizer(input_text, return_tensors="pt").to("cuda")
+
+output = quantized_model.generate(**input_ids, max_new_tokens=10)
+print(tokenizer.decode(output[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
+```
+
+torchao quantization is implemented with tensor subclasses, currently it does not work with huggingface serialization, both the safetensor option and [non-safetensor option](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/issues/32364), we'll update here with instructions when it's working.
