 ## Model Preparation
 
-You can refer to the general [*Prepare and Quantize*](README.md#prepare-and-quantize) guide for model prepration.
+You can refer to the general [llama-quantize tool](/tools/quantize/README.md) for steps to convert a model in Hugging Face safetensor format to GGUF with quantization.
 
-Currently we support `Q4_0` quantization and have optimize for it. To achieve best performance on Adreno GPU, add `--pure` to `llama-quantize`. For example,
+Currently we support `Q4_0` quantization and have optimized for it. To achieve best performance on Adreno GPU, add `--pure` to `llama-quantize` (i.e., make all weights in `Q4_0`). For example,
 
 ```sh
 ./llama-quantize --pure ggml-model-qwen2.5-3b-f16.gguf ggml-model-qwen-3b-Q4_0.gguf Q4_0
 ```
 
 Since `Q6_K` is also supported, `Q4_0` quantization without `--pure` will also work. However, the performance will be worse compared to pure `Q4_0` quantization.
 
+### `MXFP4` MoE Models
+
+OpenAI gpt-oss models are MoE models in `MXFP4`. The quantized model will be in `MXFP4_MOE`, a mixture of `MXFP4` and `Q8_0`.
+For this quantization, there is no need to specify `--pure`.
+For gpt-oss-20b model, you can directly [download](https://huggingface.co/ggml-org/gpt-oss-20b-GGUF) the quantized GGUF file in `MXFP4_MOE` from Hugging Face.
+
+Although it is possible to quantize gpt-oss-20b model in pure `Q4_0` (all weights in `Q4_0`), it is not recommended since `MXFP4` has been optimized for MoE while `Q4_0` is not. In addition, accuracy should degrade with such pure `Q4_0` quantization.
+Hence, using the default `MXFP4_MOE` quantization (see the link above) is recommended for this model.
+
+> Note that the `Q4_0` model found [here](https://huggingface.co/unsloth/gpt-oss-20b-GGUF/blob/main/gpt-oss-20b-Q4_0.gguf) is a mixture of `Q4_0`, `Q8_0` and `MXFP4` and gives better performance than `MXFP4_MOE` quantization.
