+### Dequantizing `bitsandbytes` models
+
+Once quantized, you can dequantize the model to the original precision. Note this might result in a small quality loss of the model. Make also sure to have enough GPU RAM to fit the dequantized model. 
+Below is how to perform dequantization on a 4-bit model using `bitsandbytes`.
+
+```python
+from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, BitsAndBytesConfig, AutoTokenizer
+
+model_id = "facebook/opt-125m"
+
+model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_id, BitsAndBytesConfig(load_in_4bit=True))
+tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
+
+model.dequantize()
+
+text = tokenizer("Hello my name is", return_tensors="pt").to(0)
+
+out = model.generate(**text)
+print(tokenizer.decode(out[0]))
+```

 ## EETQ
 The [EETQ](https://github.com/NetEase-FuXi/EETQ) library supports int8 per-channel weight-only quantization for NVIDIA GPUS. The high-performance GEMM and GEMV kernels are from FasterTransformer and TensorRT-LLM. It requires no calibration dataset and does not need to pre-quantize your model. Moreover, the accuracy degradation is negligible owing to the per-channel quantization.

 ### Optimized Runtime
 HQQ supports various backends, including pure Pytorch and custom dequantization CUDA kernels. These backends are suitable for older gpus and peft/QLoRA training.
 For faster inference, HQQ supports 4-bit fused kernels (TorchAO and Marlin), reaching up to 200 tokens/sec on a single 4090.
-For more details on how to use the backends, please refer to https://github.com/mobiusml/hqq/?tab=readme-ov-file#backend
