 **Deprecations**
 
 - Deprecate the public ``QuantizationArgumentsWithConfig`` name in ``modelopt.torch.quantization.plugins.transformers_trainer``; it now aliases ``QuantizationArguments`` and will be removed in a future release.
+- Deprecate the ``examples/diffusers/eval`` image-quality evaluation example (ImageReward / CLIP-IQA / CLIP metrics); it is no longer maintained and will be removed in the next release.

 ## Evaluate Accuracy

 This simple code demonstrates how to evaluate images generated by diffusion (or other generative) models using popular metrics such as [imagereward](https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.05977), [clip-iqa](https://arxiv.org/abs/2207.12396), and [clip](https://arxiv.org/abs/2104.08718).

+# Diffusers Image-Quality Evaluation (Deprecated)
+
+> **Deprecated:** This evaluation example is no longer maintained and will be removed in a future release. There is no public replacement at this time.
+
+These scripts evaluate images generated by diffusion (or other generative) models using popular metrics such as [ImageReward](https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.05977), [CLIP-IQA](https://arxiv.org/abs/2207.12396), and [CLIP](https://arxiv.org/abs/2104.08718).
+
+## Install Requirements
+
+```bash
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+Prepare a JSON file with your prompts and corresponding images, then run:
+
+```bash
+python main.py --data-path {PATH_TO_THE_IMAGE_JSON_PATH} --metrics imagereward
+```
+
+- `--data-path`: Path to your JSON file.
+- `--metrics`: One or more metrics to compute (e.g. `imagereward`, `clip-iqa`, `clip`).
+
+See the [Evaluate Accuracy](../README.md#evaluate-accuracy) section of the diffusers README for the input JSON format and sample results.
