+## Fused `int4 / fp16` Quant Matmul
+
+Fused kernel that combines asymmetric dequantization and gemm. Useful primarily for compute-bound (M > 16) scenarios and not for memory-bound / inference scenarios.
+
+The kernel fuses two ops:
+
+- Dequantization: upcasts `u4 / s4` weights to `float16 / bfloat16`, followed by groupwise scaling and shifting by scales / zeropoints
+- GEMM: matmul on dequantized weights and activations.
+
+Tested and benchmarked for `HQQ` but could theoretically be used for any asymmetric quantization scheme.
+
+> **NOTE**: Benchmark below is only indicative of performance on consumer-grade `Ampere` GPUs (`A6000` specifically). When tested on `H100`, the performance is on par / marginally worse than native / compiled `torch`.  
+> The intended use is thus for fine-tuning / training models on non-datacenter GPUs (`80 <= compute capability < 90`). If interested in optimizing the kernel for other architectures, please drop a note in the CUDA-MODE Discord channel.
+
+### Implementation Details
+
+- Bitpacking is simple row interleave, no need for extensive preprocessing (e.g., `tinygemm` or `fastertransformer`)
+- Tested for `float16 / bfloat16` activations, scales, and zeros
+- Autotuned for both compute-bound and memory-bound configs
+- Assumes operand B of the `gemm` is is the quantized type.
+- Requires quantization along `in-features`, i.e., the `K` dimension, or `axis=1`, of `torch.linear.weight`.
+- Implementation handles both transposed and non-tranposed quantized weights, useful for forward / backward training passes.
+
+### Performance
+
+Initial benchmarking (on `A6000`) demonstrates promising results, scaling well for compute-bound workloads:

+| 2   | 128  | 4096 | 4096 | 128        | torch.bfloat16 | 0.2689  | 0.0960 | 0.2523   |
+| 3   | 256  | 4096 | 4096 | 128        | torch.bfloat16 | 0.3268  | 0.1355 | 0.5192   |
+| 4   | 512  | 4096 | 4096 | 128        | torch.bfloat16 | 0.3628  | 0.2369 | 1.0892   |
+| 5   | 1024 | 4096 | 4096 | 128        | torch.bfloat16 | 0.5133  | 0.4753 | 2.2016   |
+
+- Times are in `ms`, see `benchmarks/benchmark_hqq.py`.
+- `hqq_ref` is the base `HQQ_Linear` [module](https://github.com/mobiusml/hqq/blob/6d50eee4bcdd99cc10716f1297c5b2803d2b6da4/hqq/core/quantize.py#L349) that is unfused (dequantization followed by call to torch.matmul).
+- `tinygemm` calls `torch.ops.aten._weight_int4pack_mm`. Implementation is a custom HQQLinear layer that wraps the preprocessing necessary for this kernel, adapted from a benchmark script posted by @mobicham from `CUDA-mode` Discord discussions.

+GPU details:
+
+```
+_CudaDeviceProperties(name='NVIDIA RTX A6000', major=8, minor=6, total_memory=48676MB, multi_processor_count=84)
+```
+
+### NOTE
+
+This implementation requires **`triton >= 3.0.0`**.
+
+- Running tests / benchmarks requires installation of `hqq`:
+
+  ```
+  pip install hqq
+  ```
