 ## TL;DR
 **Installation**:
-1. Note down version: ``conda list | grep cudatoolkit``
-2. Replace 111 with the version that you see: ``pip install bitsandbytes-cuda111``
+``pip install bitsandbytes``
 
-**Usage**:
+**Using 8-bit optimizer**:
 1. Comment out optimizer: ``#torch.optim.Adam(....)``
 2. Add 8-bit optimizer of your choice ``bnb.optim.Adam8bit(....)`` (arguments stay the same)
 3. Replace embedding layer if necessary: ``torch.nn.Embedding(..) -> bnb.nn.Embedding(..)``
 
 
+**Using 8-bit Inference**:
+1. Comment out torch.nn.Linear: ``#linear = torch.nn.Linear(...)``
+2. Add bnb 8-bit linear light module: ``linear = bnb.nn.Linear8bitLt(...)`` (base arguments stay the same)
+3. There are two modes:
+   - Mixed 8-bit training with 16-bit main weights. Pass the argument ``use_fp16_weights=True`` (default)
+   - Int8 inference. Pass the argument ``use_fp16_weights=False``
+4. To use the full LLM.int8() method, use the ``threshold=k`` argument. We recommend ``k=6.0``.
+```python
+# LLM.int8()
+linear = bnb.nn.Linear8bitLt(dim1, dim2, bias=True, use_fp16_weights=False, threshold=6.0)
+# inputs need to be fp16
+out = linear(x.to(torch.float16))
+```

 ## Requirements & Installation
 
 Requirements: anaconda, cudatoolkit, pytorch
-Hardware requirements: NVIDIA Maxwell GPU or newer (>=GTX 9XX)
-Supported CUDA versions: 9.2 - 11.3
 
-The requirements can best be fulfilled by installing pytorch via anaconda. You can install PyTorch by following the ["Get Started"](https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/) instructions on the official website.
+Hardware requirements: 
+ - LLM.int8(): NVIDIA Turing (RTX 20xx; T4) or Ampere GPU (RTX 30xx; A4-A100); (a GPU from 2018 or older).
+ - 8-bit optimizers and quantization: NVIDIA Maxwell GPU or newer (>=GTX 9XX).
 
-bitsandbytes is compatible with all major PyTorch releases and cudatoolkit versions, but for now, you need to select the right version manually. To do this run:
+Supported CUDA versions: 10.2 - 11.7
 
-```conda list | grep cudatoolkit```
+The requirements can best be fulfilled by installing pytorch via anaconda. You can install PyTorch by following the ["Get Started"](https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/) instructions on the official website.
 
-and take note of the Cuda version that you have installed. Then you can install bitsandbytes via:
-```bash
-# choices: {cuda92, cuda 100, cuda101, cuda102, cuda110, cuda111, cuda113}
-# replace XXX with the respective number
-pip install bitsandbytes-cudaXXX
-```
+## Using bitsandbytes
 
-To check if your installation was successful, you can execute the following command, which runs a single bnb Adam update.

+### Using Int8 Matrix Multiplication
+
+For straight Int8 matrix multiplication with mixed precision decomposition you can use ``bnb.matmul(...)``. To enable mixed precision decomposition, use the threshold parameter:
+```python
+bnb.matmul(..., threshold=6.0)
 ```
