-## Introduction
 
-`torchao` accelerates PyTorch models with minimal code changes through advanced quantization and sparsification techniques. Optimize weights, gradients, activations, and more for both inference and training.
+## 🌅 Overview
 
-From the team that brought you the fast series
+TorchAO is a PyTorch-native model optimization framework leveraging quantization and sparsity to provide an end-to-end, training-to-serving workflow
+for AI models. TorchAO works out-of-the-box with `torch.compile()` and `FSDP2` across most HuggingFace PyTorch models. Key features include:
+* Float8 [training](torchao/float8/README.md) and [inference](https://docs.pytorch.org/ao/main/generated/torchao.quantization.Float8DynamicActivationFloat8WeightConfig.html) for speedups without compromising accuracy
+* [MX training and inference](torchao/prototype/mx_formats/README.md), provides MX tensor formats based on native PyTorch MX dtypes (prototype)
+* [Quantization-Aware Training (QAT)](torchao/quantization/qat/README.md) for mitigating quantization degradation
+* [Post-Training Quantization (PTQ)](torchao/quantization/README.md) for int4, int8, fp6 etc, with matching kernels targeting a variety of backends including CUDA, ARM CPU, and XNNPACK
+* [Sparsity](torchao/sparsity/README.md), includes different techniques such as 2:4 sparsity and block sparsity
+
+Check out our [docs](https://docs.pytorch.org/ao/main/) for more details!
+
+From the team that brought you the fast series:
 * 9.5x inference speedups for Image segmentation models with [sam-fast](https://pytorch.org/blog/accelerating-generative-ai)
 * 10x inference speedups for Language models with [gpt-fast](https://pytorch.org/blog/accelerating-generative-ai-2)
 * 3x inference speedup for Diffusion models with [sd-fast](https://pytorch.org/blog/accelerating-generative-ai-3)
 * 2.7x inference speedup for FAIR’s Seamless M4T-v2 model with [seamlessv2-fast](https://pytorch.org/blog/accelerating-generative-ai-4/)
 
-`torchao` isn't just for inference - it delivers substantial speedups at scale, from [up to 1.5x speedups](https://pytorch.org/blog/training-using-float8-fsdp2/) on 512 GPU clusters, to [1.34-1.43x speedups](https://pytorch.org/blog/accelerating-large-scale-training-and-convergence-with-pytorch-float8-rowwise-on-crusoe-2k-h200s/) on 2K H200 clusters with the latest `torchao.float8` rowwise
 
-`torchao` works out-of-the-box with `torch.compile()` and `FSDP2` across most Hugging Face PyTorch models
+## 🚀 Quick Start
+
+First, install TorchAO. We recommend installing the latest stable version:
+```
+pip install torchao
+```
+
+<details>
+  <summary>Other installation options</summary>
+
+  ```
+  # Nightly
+  pip install --pre torchao --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/nightly/cu126
+  
+  # Different CUDA versions
+  pip install torchao --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu126  # CUDA 12.6
+  pip install torchao --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cpu    # CPU only
+
+  # For developers
+  USE_CUDA=1 python setup.py develop
+  ```
 
+</details>
 
-## Inference
+Quantize your model weights to int4!
+```
+from torchao.quantization import Int4WeightOnlyConfig, quantize_
+quantize_(model, Int4WeightOnlyConfig(group_size=32))
+```
+Compared to a `torch.compiled` bf16 baseline, your quantized model should be significantly smaller and faster on a single A100 GPU:
+```
+int4 model size: 1.25 MB
+bfloat16 model size: 4.00 MB
+compression ratio: 3.2
+
+bf16 mean time: 30.393 ms
+int4 mean time: 4.410 ms
+speedup: 6.9x
+```
+For the full model setup and benchmark details, check out our [quick start guide](https://docs.pytorch.org/ao/stable/quick_start.html). Alternatively, try quantizing your favorite model using our [HuggingFace space](https://huggingface.co/spaces/pytorch/torchao-my-repo)!

-Post-training quantization can result in a fast and compact model, but may also lead to accuracy degradation. We recommend exploring Quantization Aware Training (QAT) to overcome this limitation. In collaboration with [Torchtune](https://github.com/pytorch/torchtune/blob/main/recipes/quantization.md#quantization-aware-training-qat), we've developed a QAT recipe that demonstrates significant accuracy improvements over traditional PTQ, recovering **96% of the accuracy degradation on hellaswag and 68% of the perplexity degradation on wikitext** for Llama3 compared to post-training quantization (PTQ). And we've provided a full recipe [here](https://pytorch.org/blog/quantization-aware-training/). For more details, please see the [QAT README](./torchao/quantization/qat/README.md).

-## Composability
+### Composability
 `torch.compile`: A key design principle for us is composability - any custom dtype or memory layout should work with our compiler. We enable kernel implementations in PyTorch, CUDA, C++, or Triton. This allows researchers and engineers to start with high-level dtype and layout logic in pure PyTorch, then progressively optimize performance by implementing lower-level kernels as needed, while maintaining compatibility with the compile infrastructure.

 Our framework makes it straightforward to add tensor parallel support to your custom quantized tensor subclass. Check out our [tensor parallel tutorial](tutorials/developer_api_guide/tensor_parallel.py) to see how a quantized tensor subclass can be extended to support column and row-wise tensor sharding while maintaining compatibility with `torch.compile`.

 We've added support for authoring and releasing [custom ops](./torchao/csrc/) that do not graph break with `torch.compile()`. We have a few examples you can follow
