+# This example demonstrates how to implement a "Zero-Delay QKV Compression" approach during inference 
+# with a Hugging Face Transformer model. The idea is to modify the model's attention mechanism to 
+# combine the query/key/value (Q/K/V) projections into a single linear operation. 
+#
+# Note:
+# - This is a conceptual example. It shows how you might integrate a single QKV projection for 
+#   runtime optimization, rather than running three separate projections. Actual performance improvements 
+#   depend on hardware, model size, and other factors.
+# - We use a GPT-2 model as a base example. Other models in the Transformers library share similar 
+#   attention architectures but may differ slightly in naming or internal structure.
+# - This code uses monkey-patching: after loading the model, we replace the original attention 
+#   projection modules with a combined QKV module.
+# - The zero-delay QKV compression technique essentially merges Q, K, V linear layers into a single 
+#   linear layer that outputs concatenated Q, K, and V. This can potentially reduce overhead and 
+#   improve inference speed.
+#
+# Prerequisites:
+# - pip install transformers
+# - Ensure you have a GPU available if you're testing speed improvements.

+    # as a single projection. GPT-2 in HuggingFace Transformers actually already uses a combined QKV projection,
+    # but for demonstration, let's assume a scenario where Q, K, and V are separate and we want to merge them.

+    # self.c_attn = Conv1D(3 * n_state, n_state)
