+# Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B-INT8
+
+This is an INT8 quantized version of [Qwen/Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B), optimized for reduced memory usage while maintaining embedding quality.
+
+## Model Details
+

+- **Model Type:** Text Embedding Model
+- **Architecture:** Qwen3 (595.8M parameters)
+- **Quantization:** INT8 using Optimum Quanto
+- **License:** Apache 2.0
+- **Language(s):** Multilingual (supports 29 languages)
+
+### Key Improvements
+
+- **Memory Reduction:** 37% smaller (1.19GB → 752MB)

+- **Compatibility:** Full HuggingFace Transformers ecosystem support
+- **Optimization:** Static quantization with frozen weights for optimal inference
+
+## Usage
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+```python
+from transformers import AutoModel, AutoTokenizer
+import torch
+
+# Load the quantized model
+model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("techAInewb/Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B-INT8")
+tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("techAInewb/Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B-INT8")
+
+# Generate embeddings
+text = "This is an example sentence for embedding."
+inputs = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="pt", max_length=32768, truncation=True)
+
+with torch.no_grad():
+    outputs = model(**inputs)
+    # Mean pooling for sentence embedding
+    embeddings = outputs.last_hidden_state.mean(dim=1)
+    
+print(f"Embedding shape: {embeddings.shape}")  # [1, 1024]
+```
+
+### Advanced Usage with Device Management
+
+```python
+import torch
+from transformers import AutoModel, AutoTokenizer
+
+device = "cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu"
+model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("techAInewb/Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B-INT8").to(device)
+tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("techAInewb/Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B-INT8")
+
+def get_embeddings(texts, batch_size=8):
+    embeddings = []
+    for i in range(0, len(texts), batch_size):
+        batch = texts[i:i + batch_size]
+        inputs = tokenizer(batch, padding=True, truncation=True, 
+                          return_tensors="pt", max_length=32768).to(device)
+        
+        with torch.no_grad():
+            outputs = model(**inputs)
+            batch_embeddings = outputs.last_hidden_state.mean(dim=1)
+            embeddings.append(batch_embeddings.cpu())
+    
+    return torch.cat(embeddings, dim=0)
+
+# Example usage
+texts = ["Hello world", "How are you?", "This is a test"]
+embeddings = get_embeddings(texts)
+print(f"Generated {embeddings.shape[0]} embeddings of dimension {embeddings.shape[1]}")
+```
