 ## Usage
 
-### Supported Model Types
+### Inference Options
+
+The library supports multiple inference backends to accommodate different hardware configurations and performance needs:
+
+1. **vLLM**:
+   - Best for NVIDIA GPUs with Ampere architecture or newer (e.g., RTX 3000 series, A100, H100)
+   - Offers the highest performance and throughput
+   - Requires CUDA-compatible GPU
+
+   ```python
+   from flow_judge import Vllm
+
+   model = Vllm()
+   ```
+
+2. **Hugging Face Transformers**:
+   - Compatible with a wide range of hardware, including older NVIDIA GPUs
+   - Supports CPU inference (slower but universally compatible)
+   - It is slower than vLLM but generally compatible with more hardware.
+
+    If you are running on an Ampere GPU or newer:
+   ```python
+   from flow_judge import Hf
+
+   model = Hf()
+   ```
+
+   If you are not running on an Ampere GPU or newer, disable flash attention:
+   ```python
+   from flow_judge import Hf
+
+   model = Hf(flash_attn=False)
+   ```
+
+3. **Llamafile**:
+   - Ideal for non-NVIDIA hardware, including Apple Silicon
+   - Provides good performance on CPUs
+   - Self-contained, easy to deploy option
+
+   ```python
+   from flow_judge import Llamafile
+
+   model = Llamafile()
+   ```
+
+Choose the inference backend that best matches your hardware and performance requirements. The library provides a unified interface for all these options, making it easy to switch between them as needed.

 ## Advanced Usage
 
-### Model configurations
 > [!WARNING]
 > There is a reported issue with Phi-3 models that produces gibberish outputs with contexts longer than 4096 tokens, including input and output. This issue has been recently fixed in the transformers library so we recommend using the `Flow-Judge-v0.1_HF` model configuration for longer contexts at the moment. For more details, refer to: [#33129](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/pull/33129) and [#6135](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/issues/6135)
 
-We currently support vLLM engine (recommended) and Hugging Face Transformers.
-
-We are working on adding API-based usage as well as better options for CPU.
