+
+## Why is the kernelization step needed?
+
+In earlier versions of `kernels`, a layer's `forward` was replaced by
+`use_kernel_forward_from_hub` and `replace_kernel_forward_from_hub`. The
+new `forward` would dispatch to a kernel based on the device type,
+whether a model was training, etc. However, this approach was
+fundamentally incompatible with `torch.compile` since it relied
+on data-dependent branching.
+
+To avoid branching, we have to make dispatch decisions ahead of time,
+which is what the `kernelize` function does.

 **Warning:** we strongly recommend using layers with a decorator, since

+## Kernelizing a model
+
+A model will not use Hub kernels by default, even if it contains extensible
+layers. To enable the use of Hub kernels in the model, it needs to be
+'kernelized' using the `kernelize` function. This function traverses the
+model graph and replaces the `forward` methods of extensible layers for which
+Hub kernels are registered. Kernelize can be used as follows:
+
+```python
+model = MyModel(...)
+model = kernelize(model)
+```
+
+**Note:** the `kernelize` function modifies the model in-place, the model
+itself is returned as a convenience.
+
+### Kernel device
+
+Kernels can be registered per device type. For instance, separate `cuda` and
+`metal` kernels could be registered for the name `SiluAndMul`. By default,
+`kernelize` will try to infer the device type from the model's parameters.
+You can pass the device type to `kernelize` if the device type cannot be
+inferred (e.g. because the model has no parameters):
+
+```python
+model = MyModel(...)
+model = kernelize(model, device="cuda")
+```
+
+### `torch.compile`
+
+Not all Hub kernels support `torch.compile`. If you want to compile a model
+after kernelizing it, pass the `needs_torch_compile` argument to ensure that
+only kernels that support `torch.compile` will be loaded:
+
+```python
+model = MyModel(...)
+model = kernelize(model, needs_torch_compile=True)
+```
+
+### Fallback forward
+
+The `needs_torch_compile` argument will fall back to the layer's original
+`forward` if the registered kernels does not support `torch.compile`. You
+can let `kernelize` raise an exception instead by using `use_fallback=False`:
+
+```python
+model = MyModel(...)
+model = kernelize(model, needs_torch_compile=True, use_fallback=False)
+```
+
+This can be useful if you want to guarantee that Hub kernels are used.
