+# Quantizing the Input Embedding
+
+`llm-compressor` can quantize a model's **input embedding table** (the vocab
+lookup) to weight-only `intN` (`WNA16`), in addition to the linear layers. vLLM
+loads these checkpoints and runs an efficient fused gather + dequant for the
+looked-up rows, so the packed table is never densified.
+
+Embedding quantization is most useful for **large-vocabulary models**, where the
+embedding table is a meaningful fraction of memory (e.g. a 150k-vocab model has a
+~1 GB embedding table in fp16). It is **weight-only and data-free** -- no
+calibration dataset is required -- and its accuracy impact is typically
+negligible.
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/vllm-project/llm-compressor.git
+cd llm-compressor
+pip install -e .
+```
+
+## Quickstart
+
+```bash
+python3 llama3_example.py
+```
+
+The resulting model `Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct-embedding-W4A16-G64` is ready to be
+loaded into vLLM.
+
+## Code Walkthrough
+
+### 1) Load the model
+
+```python
+from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
+
+model_id = "meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct"
+model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_id)
+tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
+```
+
+> Note: `meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct` is gated on Hugging Face. Make sure
+> your account has access and that you are authenticated locally (e.g. via
+> `huggingface-cli login`) before running, or substitute an open model.
+
+### 2) Apply embedding quantization (data-free)
+
+Target the `Embedding` module **by class name** rather than by a layer-name
+regex. Class-based matching is portable across architectures and does not depend
+on the module's prefix, so the same recipe works for `model.embed_tokens`,
+`gpt_neox.embed_in`, and so on:
+
+```python
+from llmcompressor import oneshot
+from llmcompressor.modifiers.quantization import QuantizationModifier
+
+recipe = QuantizationModifier(
+    config_groups={
+        "embedding": {
+            "targets": ["Embedding"],
+            "weights": {
+                "num_bits": 4,
+                "type": "int",
+                "symmetric": True,
+                "strategy": "group",
+                "group_size": 64,
+            },
+        }
+    }
+)
+
+# Weight-only -> data-free; no calibration dataset needed.
+oneshot(model=model, recipe=recipe)
+```
+
+Use `"strategy": "channel"` (and drop `group_size`) for per-row channel scales,
+or `"num_bits": 8` for a more conservative, effectively lossless setting.
+
+### 3) Save the compressed model
+
+```python
+SAVE_DIR = "Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct-embedding-W4A16-G64"
+model.save_pretrained(SAVE_DIR, save_compressed=True)
+tokenizer.save_pretrained(SAVE_DIR)
+```
+
+## Composing with weight quantization
+
+Embedding quantization can be combined with linear-weight quantization by adding
+the linear modifier alongside it, e.g.:
+
+```python
+from llmcompressor.modifiers.quantization import GPTQModifier
+
+recipe = [
+    GPTQModifier(targets="Linear", scheme="W4A16", ignore=["lm_head"]),
+    QuantizationModifier(config_groups={"embedding": embedding_config}), # where embedding_config is defined as above
+]
+```
+
+## Accuracy
+
+Quantizing only the input embedding is near-lossless. On `pythia-1.4b`
+(`lm-eval`, `wikitext` word perplexity / `arc_easy` acc):
+
+| scheme | wikitext ppl | arc_easy acc |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| baseline (fp16) | 14.733 | 0.6048 |
+| embedding W8 channel | 14.732 | 0.6052 |
+| embedding W4 group-64 | 14.752 | 0.6061 |
