+### Using Scaled Dot Product Attention (SDPA)
+
+PyTorch includes a native scaled dot-product attention (SDPA) operator as part of `torch.nn.functional`. This function 
+encompasses several implementations that can be applied depending on the inputs and the hardware in use. See the 
+[official documentation](https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/generated/torch.nn.functional.scaled_dot_product_attention.html) 
+or the [GPU Inference](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/main/en/perf_infer_gpu_one#pytorch-scaled-dot-product-attention)
+page for more information.
+
+SDPA is used by default for `torch>=2.1.1` when an implementation is available, but you may also set 
+`attn_implementation="sdpa"` in `from_pretrained()` to explicitly request SDPA to be used.
+
+```
+from transformers import VivitModel
+model = VivitModel.from_pretrained("google/vivit-b-16x2-kinetics400", attn_implementation="sdpa", torch_dtype=torch.float16)
+...
+```
+
+For the best speedups, we recommend loading the model in half-precision (e.g. `torch.float16` or `torch.bfloat16`).
+
+On a local benchmark (A100-40GB, PyTorch 2.3.0, OS Ubuntu 22.04) with `float32` and `google/vivit-b-16x2-kinetics400` model, we saw the following speedups during inference.
