+    ## 📊 Summary of Optimizations
+
+    | Operation | Problem | Solution | Speedup |
+    |-----------|---------|----------|---------|
+    | **Flash Attention** | O(N²) memory | Block-wise computation | **9.4x** |
+    | **LayerNorm+GELU** | 2 kernels, 2 reads | Single fused kernel | **1.8x** |
+    | **Quantization** | 4GB models | INT8 compression | **75% smaller** |
+    | **GEMM** | Poor bandwidth | Shared memory tiling | **2-5x** |
