 --------------------------------------
 
-Next, you need to rewrite the :meth:`~torch.nn.Module.forward` method of your model by following these steps:
-
-1. Remove any unnecessary code, such as the code only used for training.
-2. Change the input parameters:
-
-.. code-block:: diff
-
-      def forward(
-          self,
-          input_ids: torch.Tensor,
-    -     attention_mask: Optional[torch.Tensor] = None,
-    -     position_ids: Optional[torch.LongTensor] = None,
-    -     past_key_values: Optional[List[torch.FloatTensor]] = None,
-    -     inputs_embeds: Optional[torch.FloatTensor] = None,
-    -     labels: Optional[torch.LongTensor] = None,
-    -     use_cache: Optional[bool] = None,
-    -     output_attentions: Optional[bool] = None,
-    -     output_hidden_states: Optional[bool] = None,
-    -     return_dict: Optional[bool] = None,
-    - ) -> Union[Tuple, CausalLMOutputWithPast]:
-    +     positions: torch.Tensor,
-    +     kv_caches: List[torch.Tensor],
-    +     attn_metadata: AttentionMetadata,
-    + ) -> Optional[SamplerOutput]:
-
-1. Update the code by considering that :code:`input_ids` and :code:`positions` are now flattened tensors.
-2. Replace the attention operation with either :code:`PagedAttention`, :code:`PagedAttentionWithRoPE`, or :code:`PagedAttentionWithALiBi` depending on the model's architecture.
+To ensure compatibility with vLLM, your model must meet the following requirements:
+
+Initialization Code
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+All vLLM modules within the model must include a ``prefix`` argument in their constructor. This ``prefix`` is typically the full name of the module in the model's state dictionary and is crucial for:
+
+* Runtime support: vLLM's attention operators are registered in a model's state by their full names. Each attention operator must have a unique prefix as its layer name to avoid conflicts.
+* Non-uniform quantization support: A quantized checkpoint can selectively quantize certain layers while keeping others in full precision. By providing the ``prefix`` during initialization, vLLM can match the current layer's ``prefix`` with the quantization configuration to determine if the layer should be initialized in quantized mode.
+
+The initialization code should look like this:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    from torch import nn
+    from vllm.config import VllmConfig
+    from vllm.attention import Attention
+
+    class MyAttention(nn.Module):
+        def __init__(self, vllm_config: VllmConfig, prefix: str):
+            super().__init__()
+            self.attn = Attention(prefix=f"{prefix}.attn")
+
+    class MyDecoderLayer(nn.Module):
+        def __init__(self, vllm_config: VllmConfig, prefix: str):
+            super().__init__()
+            self.self_attn = MyAttention(prefix=f"{prefix}.self_attn")
+
+    class MyModel(nn.Module):
+        def __init__(self, vllm_config: VllmConfig, prefix: str):
+            super().__init__()
+            self.layers = nn.ModuleList(
+                [MyDecoderLayer(vllm_config, prefix=f"{prefix}.layers.{i}") for i in range(vllm_config.model_config.hf_config.num_hidden_layers)]
+            )
+
+    class MyModelForCausalLM(nn.Module):
+        def __init__(self, vllm_config: VllmConfig, prefix: str = ""):
+            super().__init__()
+            self.model = MyModel(vllm_config, prefix=f"{prefix}.model")
+
+Computation Code
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Rewrite the :meth:`~torch.nn.Module.forward` method of your model to remove any unnecessary code, such as training-specific code. Modify the input parameters to treat ``input_ids`` and ``positions`` as flattened tensors with a single batch size dimension, without a max-sequence length dimension.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    def forward(
+        self,
+        input_ids: torch.Tensor,
+        positions: torch.Tensor,
+        kv_caches: List[torch.Tensor],
+        attn_metadata: AttentionMetadata,
+    ) -> torch.Tensor:
+        ...
 
 .. note::
     Currently, vLLM supports the basic multi-head attention mechanism and its variant with rotary positional embeddings.
     If your model employs a different attention mechanism, you will need to implement a new attention layer in vLLM.
 
+For reference, check out the `LLAMA model <https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/blob/main/vllm/model_executor/models/llama.py>`__. vLLM already supports a large number of models. It is recommended to find a model similar to yours and adapt it to your model's architecture. Check out the `vLLM models <https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/tree/main/vllm/model_executor/models>`__ directory for more examples.
