 You can read more about the optimizations in the [original pull request](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/pull/22575)
 
+## Combining Starcoder and Flash Attention 2
+
+First, make sure to install the latest version of Flash Attention 2 to include the sliding window attention feature.
+
+```bash
+pip install -U flash-attn --no-build-isolation
+```
+
+Make also sure that you have a hardware that is compatible with Flash-Attention 2. Read more about it in the official documentation of flash-attn repository. Make also sure to load your model in half-precision (e.g. `torch.float16``)
+
+To load and run a model using Flash Attention 2, refer to the snippet below:
+
+```python
+>>> import torch
+>>> from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
+>>> device = "cuda" # the device to load the model onto
+
+>>> model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("bigcode/gpt_bigcode-santacoder", torch_dtype=torch.float16, use_flash_attention_2=True)
+>>> tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("bigcode/gpt_bigcode-santacoder")
+
+>>> prompt = "def hello_world():"
+
+>>> model_inputs = tokenizer([prompt], return_tensors="pt").to(device)
+>>> model.to(device)
+
+>>> generated_ids = model.generate(**model_inputs, max_new_tokens=30, do_sample=False)
+>>> tokenizer.batch_decode(generated_ids)[0]
+'def hello_world():\n    print("hello world")\n\nif __name__ == "__main__":\n    print("hello world")\n<|endoftext|>'
+```
+
+### Expected speedups
+
+Below is a expected speedup diagram that compares pure inference time between the native implementation in transformers using `bigcode/starcoder` checkpoint and the Flash Attention 2 version of the model using two different sequence lengths.

 You can request to add Flash Attention 2 support for more models by opening an issue on GitHub, and even open a Pull Request to integrate the changes. The supported models can be used for inference and training, including training with padding tokens - *which is currently not supported for `BetterTransformer` API below.*
