+#### TorchServe inference with torch.compile of vgg-16 model
+This example shows how to take eager model of `vgg-16`, configure TorchServe to use `torch.compile` and run inference using `torch.compile`
+
+Change directory to the root directory of this project.
+
+`torch.compile` supports a variety of config and the performance you get can vary based on the config. You can find the various options [here](https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/generated/torch.compile.html).
+
+Sample command to start torchserve with torch.compile:
+
+```bash
+wget https://download.pytorch.org/models/vgg16-397923af.pth
+torch-model-archiver --model-name vgg16 --version 1.0 --model-file ./examples/image_classifier/vgg_16/model.py --serialized-file vgg16-397923af.pth --handler ./examples/image_classifier/vgg_16/vgg_handler.py --extra-files ./examples/image_classifier/index_to_name.json --config-file ./examples/image_classifier/vgg_16/model-config.yaml -f
+mkdir model_store
+mv vgg16.mar model_store/vgg16_compiled.mar
+torchserve --start --model-store model_store --models vgg16=vgg16_compiled.mar
+```
+
+Now in another terminal, run
+
+```bash
+curl http://127.0.0.1:8080/predictions/densenet161 -T ../../image_classifier/kitten.jpg
+```
+
+which produces the output
+
+```

+  "tabby": 0.4408799707889557,
