+## Background
+
+**Ascend NPU** is a range of AI processors using Neural Processing Unit. It will efficiently handle matrix-matrix multiplication, dot-product and scalars.
+
+**CANN** (Compute Architecture for Neural Networks) is a heterogeneous computing architecture for AI scenarios, providing support for multiple AI frameworks on the top and serving AI processors and programming at the bottom. It plays a crucial role in bridging the gap between upper and lower layers, and is a key platform for improving the computing efficiency of Ascend AI processors. Meanwhile, it offers a highly efficient and easy-to-use programming interface for diverse application scenarios, allowing users to rapidly build AI applications and services based on the Ascend platform.
+
+**Llama.cpp + CANN**
+
+The llama.cpp CANN backend is designed to support Ascend NPU. It utilize the ability of AscendC and ACLNN which are intergrated to CANN Toolkit and kernels to using Ascend NPU directly.
+
+## News
+
+- 2024.8
+  - Support `Q4_0` and `Q8_0` data type for Ascend NPU.
+- 2024.7
+  - Create CANN backend for Ascend NPU.

+
+
+3. **Install CANN toolkit and kernels**
+
+    CANN toolkit and kernels can be obtained from the official [CANN Toolkit](https://www.hiascend.com/zh/developer/download/community/result?module=cann) page.
+
+    Please download the corresponding version that satified your system. The minimum version required is 8.0.RC2.alpha002 and here is the install command.

+    ```
+
+    Set Ascend Variables:
+    ```sh
+    echo "source ~/Ascend/ascend-toolkit/set_env.sh" >> ~/.bashrc
+    source ~/.bashrc
+    ```
+
+Upon a successful installation, CANN is enabled for the available ascend devices.

+### II. Build llama.cpp
+
+```sh
+cmake -B build -DGGML_CANN=on -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=release
+cmake --build build --config release
+```
+
+### III. Run the inference
+
+1. **Retrieve and prepare model**
+
+    You can refer to the general [*Prepare and Quantize*](../../README.md#prepare-and-quantize) guide for model prepration.
+
+    **Notes**:
+
+      - CANN backend only supports FP16/Q4_0/Q8_0 models currently.
+
+2. **Launch inference**
+
+    There are two device selection modes:
+
+    - Single device: Use one device target specified by the user.
+    - Multiple devices: Automatically choose the devices with the same backend.
+
+    | Device selection | Parameter                              |

+    | Single device    | --split-mode none --main-gpu DEVICE_ID |
+    | Multiple devices | --split-mode layer (default)           |
+
+    Examples:
+
+    - Use device 0:
+
+    ```sh
+    ./build/bin/llama-cli -m path_to_model -p "Building a website can be done in 10 simple steps:" -n 400 -e -ngl 33 -sm none -mg 0

+- Can I report Ollama issue on Intel GPU to llama.cpp SYCL backend?
+
+  No. We can't support Ollama issue directly, because we aren't familiar with Ollama.

+  Sugguest reproducing on llama.cpp and report similar issue to llama.cpp. We will surpport it.

+
+### Android
+
+#### Build on Android device using Termux
+We found that build on Android device would bring better runtime performance, so we recommend to build on device.
+
+[Termux](https://github.com/termux/termux-app#installation) is a terminal app on Android device (no root required).
+
+Install tools in Termux:
+```
+apt update && apt upgrade -y
+apt install git make cmake
+```
+
+It's recommended to move your model inside the `~/` directory for best performance:
+```
+cd storage/downloads
+mv model.gguf ~/
+```
+
+#### Building the Project using Android NDK
+Obtain the [Android NDK](https://developer.android.com/ndk) and then build with CMake.
+
+Execute the following commands on your computer to avoid downloading the NDK to your mobile. Alternatively, you can also do this in Termux:
+
+```bash
+mkdir build-android
+cd build-android
+export NDK=/your_ndk_path
+cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=$NDK/build/cmake/android.toolchain.cmake -DANDROID_ABI=arm64-v8a -DANDROID_PLATFORM=android-23 -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS=-march=armv8.4a+dotprod ..
+make
+```
+
+Install [termux](https://github.com/termux/termux-app#installation) on your device and run `termux-setup-storage` to get access to your SD card (if Android 11+ then run the command twice).
+
+Finally, copy these built `llama` binaries and the model file to your device storage. Because the file permissions in the Android sdcard cannot be changed, you can copy the executable files to the `/data/data/com.termux/files/home/bin` path, and then execute the following commands in Termux to add executable permission:
+
+(Assumed that you have pushed the built executable files to the /sdcard/llama.cpp/bin path using `adb push`)
+```
+$cp -r /sdcard/llama.cpp/bin /data/data/com.termux/files/home/
+$cd /data/data/com.termux/files/home/bin
+$chmod +x ./*
+```
+
+Download models and push them to `/sdcard/llama.cpp/`, then move it to `/data/data/com.termux/files/home/model/`
+
+```
+$mv /sdcard/llama.cpp/ggml-model-Q4_K_M.gguf /data/data/com.termux/files/home/model/
+$mv /sdcard/llama.cpp/mmproj-model-f16.gguf /data/data/com.termux/files/home/model/
+```
+
+Now, you can start chatting:
+```
+$cd /data/data/com.termux/files/home/bin
+$./llama-minicpmv-cli -m ../model/ggml-model-Q4_K_M.gguf --mmproj ../model/mmproj-model-f16.gguf -c 4096 --temp 0.7 --top-p 0.8 --top-k 100 --repeat-penalty 1.05 --image xx.jpg  -p "What is in the image?"

+    r"""
+    This is the configuration class to store the configuration of a [`SiglipVisionModel`]. It is used to instantiate a
+    Siglip vision encoder according to the specified arguments, defining the model architecture. Instantiating a
+    configuration with the defaults will yield a similar configuration to that of the vision encoder of the Siglip
+    [google/siglip-base-patch16-224](https://huggingface.co/google/siglip-base-patch16-224) architecture.
+    Configuration objects inherit from [`PretrainedConfig`] and can be used to control the model outputs. Read the
+    documentation from [`PretrainedConfig`] for more information.
+    Args:
+        hidden_size (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 768):
+            Dimensionality of the encoder layers and the pooler layer.
+        intermediate_size (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 3072):
+            Dimensionality of the "intermediate" (i.e., feed-forward) layer in the Transformer encoder.
+        num_hidden_layers (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 12):
+            Number of hidden layers in the Transformer encoder.
+        num_attention_heads (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 12):
+            Number of attention heads for each attention layer in the Transformer encoder.
+        num_channels (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 3):
+            Number of channels in the input images.
+        image_size (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 224):
+            The size (resolution) of each image.
+        patch_size (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 16):
+            The size (resolution) of each patch.
+        hidden_act (`str` or `function`, *optional*, defaults to `"gelu_pytorch_tanh"`):
+            The non-linear activation function (function or string) in the encoder and pooler. If string, `"gelu"`,
+            `"relu"`, `"selu"` and `"gelu_new"` ``"quick_gelu"` are supported.
+        layer_norm_eps (`float`, *optional*, defaults to 1e-06):
+            The epsilon used by the layer normalization layers.
+        attention_dropout (`float`, *optional*, defaults to 0.0):
+            The dropout ratio for the attention probabilities.
+    Example:
+    ```python

 ## Overview

+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> This example and the RPC backend are currently in a proof-of-concept development stage. As such, the functionality is fragile and
+> insecure. **Never run the RPC server on an open network or in a sensitive environment!**
+
 The `rpc-server` allows  running `ggml` backend on a remote host.
 The RPC backend communicates with one or several instances of `rpc-server` and offloads computations to them.
 This can be used for distributed LLM inference with `llama.cpp` in the following way:
