  This is Marlin, a **M**ixed **A**utoR**egressive **Lin**ear kernel (and the name of one of the planet's fastest fish), an extremely optimized FP16xINT4 matmul kernel aimed at LLM inference that can deliver close to ideal (4x) speedups up to batchsizes of 16-32 tokens (in contrast to the 1-2 tokens of prior work with comparable speedup).

  Marlin is an extremely optimized FP16xINT4 matmul kernel for LLM inference, uniquely designed to deliver near-ideal (4x) speedups for *medium batch sizes* of 16-32 tokens. Unlike prior work limited to 1-2 tokens, Marlin excels in scenarios like larger-scale serving, speculative decoding, or advanced multi-inference schemes.

  Add a new section to the README, for example, under a heading like 'Marlin vs. Other Quantization Kernels' or 'Why Marlin for Medium Batches?', detailing how Marlin's approach and performance for batch sizes 16-32 tokens differentiate it from alternatives such as `bitsandbytes`, `vLLM`, `GPTQ-for-LLaMa`, `ExLlamaV2`, and `TensorRT-LLM`.
