-## Performance Tips
-
-### Optimization Strategies
-
-1. **Enable Memory Optimizations**:
-   - `enable_model_cpu_offload()` - Offload inactive components to CPU
-   - `enable_attention_slicing()` - Reduce memory for attention computation
-   - `enable_vae_tiling()` - Process VAE in tiles for high-res images
-
-2. **Adjust Generation Parameters**:
-   - Reduce `num_inference_steps` (20-28 recommended)
-   - Lower resolution (768x768 or 896x896) for faster generation
-   - Use guidance_scale 7-9 for balanced quality/performance
-
-3. **Hardware Acceleration**:
-   - Install xformers for memory-efficient attention: `pip install xformers`
-   - Use torch.compile() on PyTorch 2.0+ for ~20% speedup
-   - Enable TensorFloat-32 on Ampere+ GPUs: `torch.backends.cuda.matmul.allow_tf32 = True`
-
-4. **Batch Processing**:
-   - Generate multiple images with batch_size parameter (VRAM permitting)
-   - Use lower guidance_scale for batch generation to save memory
-
-### Expected Performance
-
-| GPU | Resolution | Steps | Time/Image | VRAM Usage |
-|-----|-----------|-------|-----------|-----------|
-| RTX 4090 | 1024x1024 | 28 | ~8-12s | 18GB |

-## FP8 Quantization Details
-
-### What is FP8?
-FP8 (8-bit floating point) uses the E4M3 format (1 sign bit, 4 exponent bits, 3 mantissa bits) for reduced memory footprint while maintaining model quality. This quantization:
-
-- Reduces model size by ~50% vs FP16
-- Maintains >98% of FP16 generation quality
-- Enables deployment on 16-24GB consumer GPUs
-- Accelerates inference on GPUs with FP8 Tensor Cores
-
-### Quality Comparison
-- **Visual Quality**: Minimal perceptible difference from FP16
-- **Prompt Adherence**: Equivalent to FP16 in most cases
-- **Edge Cases**: Very complex prompts may show minor differences
-- **Recommended Use**: Production inference, consumer hardware deployment
+### Batch Generation
+
+```python
+# Generate multiple images efficiently
+prompts = ["prompt 1", "prompt 2", "prompt 3"]
+images = pipe(
+    prompt=prompts,
+    height=1024,
+    width=1024,
+    num_inference_steps=28,
+    guidance_scale=3.5
+).images  # Returns list of images
+```
+
+## Quantization Details
+
+This FP8 version uses Float8 E4M3 quantization:
+- **Precision**: 8-bit floating point (1 sign, 4 exponent, 3 mantissa bits)
+- **Range**: ~±448 with reduced precision
+- **Memory Savings**: ~50% reduction vs FP16
+- **Quality**: Minimal perceptual loss in most generation scenarios
+- **Speed**: Potential 1.5-2x inference speedup on supported hardware (H100, Ada Lovelace)
+
+### FP8 vs FP16 Comparison
+| Metric | FP16 | FP8 (This Model) |
+|--------|------|------------------|
+| VRAM | ~72GB | ~24GB (active), ~16GB (offloaded) |
+| Speed | Baseline | 1.5-2x faster (on supported GPUs) |
+| Quality | Reference | 95-98% equivalent |
+| Generation | Professional | Professional |

 ## Troubleshooting
 
 ### Common Issues
 
-**Out of Memory Error**:
-- Enable all memory optimizations (CPU offload, attention slicing, VAE tiling)
-- Reduce resolution to 768x768 or lower
-- Decrease num_inference_steps to 20
-- Close other GPU applications
+**Out of Memory Errors**:
+```python
+# Solution: Enable all memory optimizations
+pipe.enable_model_cpu_offload()
+pipe.enable_vae_slicing()
+pipe.enable_attention_slicing(slice_size="auto")
+```
 
 **Slow Generation**:
-- Install xformers: `pip install xformers`
-- Enable torch.compile() for 20% speedup
-- Use RTX 40-series for native FP8 Tensor Cores
-- Reduce inference steps to 20-24
-
-**Quality Issues**:
-- Increase guidance_scale to 8-10 for better prompt adherence
-- Use more inference steps (28-35) for higher quality
-- Ensure proper prompt formatting (detailed descriptions work best)
-- Try different random seeds for variation
+```python
+# Solution: Use torch.compile (requires PyTorch 2.0+)
+pipe.unet = torch.compile(pipe.unet, mode="reduce-overhead")
+```
 
-**Loading Errors**:
-- Verify file paths are absolute and correct
-- Ensure sufficient disk space and RAM
-- Check PyTorch and diffusers versions are up to date
-- Validate safetensors files are not corrupted
+**Quality Issues with FP8**:
+```python
+# Solution: Use FP16 computation with FP8 weights
+pipe = FluxPipeline.from_single_file(
+    model_path,
+    torch_dtype=torch.float16  # Compute in FP16, weights stay FP8
+)
+```
