-## Image Selection
-
-The installer will automatically detect your GPU and select the appropriate image. By default, it uses the standard images without extra Python dependencies. You can customize the image selection using the following environment variables:
-
- `USE_EXTRAS=true`: Use images with extra Python dependencies (larger images, ~17GB)
- `USE_AIO=true`: Use all-in-one images that include all dependencies
- `USE_VULKAN=true`: Use Vulkan GPU support instead of vendor-specific GPU support

-## Uninstallation
-
-To uninstall, run:
-
-```
-curl https://localai.io/install.sh | sh -s -- --uninstall
-```
-
 We are looking into improving the installer, and as this is a first iteration any feedback is welcome! Open up an [issue](https://github.com/mudler/LocalAI/issues/new/choose) if something doesn't work for you!

 ## ROCM(AMD) acceleration

-There are a limited number of tested configurations for ROCm systems however most newer deditated GPU consumer grade devices seem to be supported under the current ROCm6 implementation.
+There are a limited number of tested configurations for ROCm systems however most newer deditated GPU consumer grade devices seem to be supported under the current ROCm6 implementation. 

 Due to the nature of ROCm it is best to run all implementations in containers as this limits the number of packages required for installation on host system, compatability and package versions for dependencies across all variations of OS must be tested independently if disired, please refer to the [build]({{%relref "docs/getting-started/build#Acceleration" %}}) documentation.

-## Vulkan acceleration
-
-### Requirements
-
-If using nvidia, follow the steps in the [CUDA](#cudanvidia-acceleration) section to configure your docker runtime to allow access to the GPU.
-
-### Container images
-
-To use Vulkan, use the images with the `vulkan` tag, for example `{{< version >}}-vulkan-ffmpeg-core`.
-
-#### Example
-
-To run LocalAI with Docker and Vulkan, you can use the following command as an example:
-
-```bash
-docker run -p 8080:8080 -e DEBUG=true -v $PWD/models:/build/models localai/localai:latest-vulkan-ffmpeg-core
-```
-
-### Notes
-
-In addition to the commands to run LocalAI normally, you need to specify additonal flags to pass the GPU hardware to the container.
-
-These flags are the same as the sections above, depending on the hardware, for [nvidia](#cudanvidia-acceleration), [AMD](#rocmamd-acceleration) or [Intel](#intel-acceleration-sycl).
-
-If you have mixed hardware, you can pass flags for multiple GPUs, for example:
-
-```bash
-docker run -p 8080:8080 -e DEBUG=true -v $PWD/models:/build/models \
--gpus=all \ # nvidia passthrough
--device /dev/dri --device /dev/kfd \ # AMD/Intel passthrough
-localai/localai:latest-vulkan-ffmpeg-core

 ## Backends

+### AutoGPTQ
+
+[AutoGPTQ](https://github.com/PanQiWei/AutoGPTQ) is an easy-to-use LLMs quantization package with user-friendly apis, based on GPTQ algorithm.
+
+#### Prerequisites
+
+This is an extra backend - in the container images is already available and there is nothing to do for the setup.
+
+If you are building LocalAI locally, you need to install [AutoGPTQ manually](https://github.com/PanQiWei/AutoGPTQ#quick-installation).
+
+
+#### Model setup
+
+The models are automatically downloaded from `huggingface` if not present the first time. It is possible to define models via `YAML` config file, or just by querying the endpoint with the `huggingface` repository model name. For example, create a `YAML` config file in `models/`:
+
+```
+name: orca
+backend: autogptq
+model_base_name: "orca_mini_v2_13b-GPTQ-4bit-128g.no-act.order"
+parameters:
+  model: "TheBloke/orca_mini_v2_13b-GPTQ"
+# ...
+```
+
+Test with:
+
+```bash
+curl http://localhost:8080/v1/chat/completions -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{                                                                                                         
+   "model": "orca",
+   "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "How are you?"}],
+   "temperature": 0.1
+ }'
+```
 ### RWKV

-RWKV support is available through llama.cpp (see below)
+A full example on how to run a rwkv model is in the [examples](https://github.com/go-skynet/LocalAI/tree/master/examples/rwkv).
+
+Note: rwkv models needs to specify the backend `rwkv` in the YAML config files and have an associated tokenizer along that needs to be provided with it:
+
+```
+36464540 -rw-r--r--  1 mudler mudler 1.2G May  3 10:51 rwkv_small
+36464543 -rw-r--r--  1 mudler mudler 2.4M May  3 10:51 rwkv_small.tokenizer.json
