 ## Description
 
-The main goal of `llama.cpp` is to run the LLaMA model using 4-bit integer quantization on a MacBook
+The main goal of `llama.cpp` is to enable LLM inference with minimal setup and state-of-the-art performance on a wide
+variety of hardware - locally and in the cloud.

+- Plain C/C++ implementation without any dependencies
+- Apple silicon is a first-class citizen - optimized via ARM NEON, Accelerate and Metal frameworks
 - AVX, AVX2 and AVX512 support for x86 architectures
-- Mixed F16 / F32 precision
-- 2-bit, 3-bit, 4-bit, 5-bit, 6-bit and 8-bit integer quantization support

+- 2-bit, 3-bit, 4-bit, 5-bit, 6-bit, and 8-bit integer quantization for faster inference and reduced memory use
+- Custom CUDA kernels for running LLMs on NVIDIA GPUs (support for AMD GPUs via HIP)
+- Vulkan, SYCL, and (partial) OpenCL backend support
+- CPU+GPU hybrid inference to partially accelerate models larger than the total VRAM capacity
 
-The original implementation of `llama.cpp` was [hacked in an evening](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/issues/33#issuecomment-1465108022).
-Since then, the project has improved significantly thanks to many contributions. This project is mainly for educational purposes and serves
-as the main playground for developing new features for the [ggml](https://github.com/ggerganov/ggml) library.

 - **POST** `/v1/chat/completions`: OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions API. Given a ChatML-formatted json description in `messages`, it returns the predicted completion. Both synchronous and streaming mode are supported, so scripted and interactive applications work fine. While no strong claims of compatibility with OpenAI API spec is being made, in our experience it suffices to support many apps. Only ChatML-tuned models, such as Dolphin, OpenOrca, OpenHermes, OpenChat-3.5, etc can be used with this endpoint. Compared to `api_like_OAI.py` this API implementation does not require a wrapper to be served.
