+This repository contains an unofficial PyTorch implementation of [BitNet a4.8: 4-bit Activations for 1-bit LLMs](https://arxiv.org/abs/2411.04965) (Wang et al., 2024).
 
+## 📑 Paper Summary
 
-## 🚀 Quick Start
+BitNet a4.8 is a groundbreaking approach that enables 4-bit activations for 1-bit Large Language Models (LLMs). The method employs a hybrid quantization and sparsification strategy to mitigate quantization errors from outlier channels while maintaining model performance.
+
+Key features:
+- 4-bit quantization for attention and FFN inputs
+- 8-bit quantization with sparsification for intermediate states
+- Only 55% of parameters activated during inference
+- Support for 3-bit KV cache
+- Comparable performance to BitNet b1.58 with better inference efficiency
+
+## 🚀 Implementation
+
+This implementation includes:
+
+```python
+# Create a BitNet a4.8 model
+model = create_model(
+    hidden_size=4096,
+    intermediate_size=11008,
+    num_hidden_layers=32,
+    num_attention_heads=32
+)
+```
+
+Key components:
+- RMSNorm for layer normalization
+- 4-bit and 8-bit quantizers
+- TopK sparsification
+- BitLinear (1.58-bit weights)
+- Hybrid attention mechanism
+- Gated FFN with ReLU²
+

+- Reduced inference costs
+- 3-bit KV cache support
+
+## 🛠️ Usage
+
+```python
+from bitnet_a48 import create_model
+
+# Initialize model
+model = create_model(
+    hidden_size=4096,
+    intermediate_size=11008,
+    num_hidden_layers=32,
+    num_attention_heads=32
+)
+
+# Forward pass
+outputs = model(input_ids, attention_mask)
 ```
 
+## 📈 Training
 
-## 🛠 Built With
+The model uses a two-stage training recipe:
+1. Train with 8-bit activations and ReLU²GLU
+2. Fine-tune with hybrid quantization and sparsification
