-* [2024/10] Important update: We now support full-range symmetric quantization and have made it the default
-  configuration. This configuration is typically better or comparable to asymmetric quantization and significantly
-  outperforms other symmetric variants, especially at low bit-widths like 2-bit, check
-  out [some accuracy data](./docs/full_range_sym.md).
-* [2024/08] AutoRound format supports Intel Gaudi2 devices. Please refer
-  to [Intel/Qwen2-7B-int4-inc](https://huggingface.co/Intel/Qwen2-7B-int4-inc).
-* [2024/08] AutoRound introduces several experimental features, including fast tuning of norm/bias parameters (for 2-bit
-  and W4A4, check out [more details](./docs/tuning_norm_bias.md)), activation quantization, and the mx_fp data type.
