 - `config.json` - Model configuration
-- `tokenizer files` - Tokenizer configuration
+- Tokenizer files
 
-## Loading the Model
+## 🚀 How to Use
+
+### Method 1: Using the Unpacking Script (Recommended)
 
 ```python
-# Load unpacked version (for compatibility)
-from transformers import AutoModel, AutoTokenizer
+from transformers import AutoTokenizer
+from load_4bit import load_quantized_model
+import torch
 
-tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("SamMikaelson/deepseek-ocr-gptq-4bit", trust_remote_code=True)
-model = AutoModel.from_pretrained(
+# Load tokenizer
+tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(
     "SamMikaelson/deepseek-ocr-gptq-4bit",
-    trust_remote_code=True,
-    device_map="auto"
+    trust_remote_code=True
 )
 
-# Or load packed version manually
-from load_4bit import load_quantized_model
-state_dict = load_quantized_model("./deepseek-ocr-gptq-4bit")
-model.load_state_dict(state_dict)
+# Load and unpack the 4-bit model
+state_dict = load_quantized_model("./model_folder")
+
+# Load into your model architecture
+from transformers import AutoModel
+model = AutoModel.from_pretrained(
+    "deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-OCR",
+    trust_remote_code=True
+)
+model.load_state_dict(state_dict, strict=False)
 ```
 
-## Size Comparison
+### Method 2: Manual Unpacking
 
-| Version | Size | Format |
-|---------|------|--------|
-| Original | 6.21 GB | bfloat16 (16-bit) |
-| Quantized (unpacked) | ~6.21 GB | float32 with quantization |
-| **Quantized (packed)** | **1.55 GB** | **4-bit packed INT4** |
+```python
+from safetensors.torch import load_file
+import torch
+
+# Load packed weights
+tensors = load_file("model.safetensors")
+
+# Unpack 4-bit weights (see load_4bit.py for full implementation)
+def unpack_4bit(packed):
+    rows, packed_cols = packed.shape
+    unpacked = torch.zeros((rows, packed_cols * 2), dtype=torch.uint8)
+    unpacked[:, 0::2] = (packed >> 4) & 0x0F
+    unpacked[:, 1::2] = packed & 0x0F
+    return unpacked
+
+# Use unpacked weights with scales
+for key in tensors:
+    if key.endswith('.weight_packed'):
+        packed = tensors[key]
+        scale = tensors[key.replace('.weight_packed', '.scale')]
+        weights = unpack_4bit(packed).float() * scale
+```
 
-The packed version achieves **true 4-bit compression** by storing two 4-bit values per byte.
+## 🔬 Technical Details
 
-## Quantization Process
+### Quantization Process
+1. **GPTQ Quantization**: Hessian-based optimal quantization
+2. **4-bit Conversion**: Weights mapped to 0-15 integer range
+3. **Bit Packing**: Two 4-bit values packed per byte
+4. **Scale Preservation**: Per-channel scales stored in float16
 
-1. GPTQ quantization with Hessian-based optimization
-2. 4-bit integer conversion (0-15 range)
-3. Bit packing: two 4-bit values per byte
-4. Scale factors stored separately in float16
+### Storage Format
+- **Packed Weights**: uint8 array (2 weights per byte)
+- **Scales**: float16 per-channel scale factors
+- **Total Size**: 1.59 GB on disk
 
-## Performance
+### Why This Works
+- Original: 2 bytes per parameter (bfloat16)
+- Quantized: 0.5 bytes per parameter (4-bit)
+- Plus scales: ~0.1 bytes per parameter
+- **Total: ~75% size reduction**
 
-- **Memory Usage**: ~75.0% reduction
-- **Storage**: ~4.66 GB saved
-- **Speed**: Comparable to full precision after unpacking
-- **Accuracy**: Minimal degradation with GPTQ
