+## Configuring DistributedEmbedding
+
+The `keras_rs.layers.DistributedEmbedding` handles multiple features and
+multiple embedding tables. This is to enable the sharing of tables between
+features and allow some optimizations that come from combining multiple
+embedding lookups into a single invocation. In this section, we'll describe
+how to configure these.
+
+### Configuring tables
+
+Tables are configured using `keras_rs.layers.TableConfig`, which has:
+
+- A name.
+- A vocabulary size (input size).
+- an embedding dimension (output size).
+- A combiner to specify how to reduce multiple embeddings into a single one in
+  the case when we embed a sequence. Note that this doesn't apply to our example
+  because we're getting a single embedding for each user and each movie.
+- A placement to tell whether to put the table on the SparseCore chips or not.
+  In this case, we want the `"sparsecore"` placement.
+- An optimizer to specify how to apply gradients when training. Each table has
+  its own optimizer and the one passed to `model.compile()` is not used for the
+  embedding tables.
+
+### Configuring features
+
+Features are configured using `keras_rs.layers.FeatureConfig`, which has:
+
+- A name.
+- A table, the embedding table to use.
+- An input shape (batch size is for all TPUs).
+- An output shape (batch size is for all TPUs).
+
+We can organize features in any structure we want, which can be nested. A dict
+is often a good choice to have names for the inputs and outputs.

+## Defining the Model
+
+We're now ready to create a `DistributedEmbedding` inside a model. Once we have
+the configuration, we simply pass it the constructor of `DistributedEmbedding`.
+Then, within the model `call` method, `DistributedEmbedding` is the first layer
+we call.
+
+The ouputs have the exact same structure as the inputs. In our example, we
+concatenate the embeddings we got as outputs and run them through a tower of
+dense layers.
