docs : add XCFramework section to README.md [no ci] (#12746 )

+- llama.cpp uses the ggml tensor library for model evaluation. If you are unfamiliar with ggml, consider taking a look at the [examples in the ggml repository](https://github.com/ggml-org/ggml/tree/master/examples/). [simple](https://github.com/ggml-org/ggml/tree/master/examples/simple) shows the bare minimum for using ggml. [gpt-2](https://github.com/ggml-org/ggml/tree/master/examples/gpt-2) has minimal implementations for language model inference using GPT-2. [mnist](https://github.com/ggml-org/ggml/tree/master/examples/mnist) demonstrates how to train and evaluate a simple image classifier
 - Test your changes:
    - Execute [the full CI locally on your machine](ci/README.md) before publishing
    - Verify that the perplexity and the performance are not affected negatively by your changes (use `llama-perplexity` and `llama-bench`)
    - If you modified the `ggml` source, run the `test-backend-ops` tool to check whether different backend implementations of the `ggml` operators produce consistent results (this requires access to at least two different `ggml` backends)
    - If you modified a `ggml` operator or added a new one, add the corresponding test cases to `test-backend-ops`
+- Create separate PRs for each feature or fix. Avoid combining unrelated changes in a single PR
 - Consider allowing write access to your branch for faster reviews, as reviewers can push commits directly
 - If your PR becomes stale, don't hesitate to ping the maintainers in the comments

+## XCFramework
+The XCFramework is a precompiled version of the library for iOS, visionOS, tvOS,
+and macOS. It can be used in Swift projects without the need to compile the
+library from source. For example:
+```swift
+// swift-tools-version: 5.10
+// The swift-tools-version declares the minimum version of Swift required to build this package.
+
+import PackageDescription
+
+let package = Package(
+    name: "MyLlamaPackage",
+    targets: [
+        .executableTarget(
+            name: "MyLlamaPackage",
+            dependencies: [
+                "LlamaFramework"
+            ]),
+        .binaryTarget(
+            name: "LlamaFramework",
+            url: "https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/releases/download/b5046/llama-b5046-xcframework.zip",
+            checksum: "c19be78b5f00d8d29a25da41042cb7afa094cbf6280a225abe614b03b20029ab"
+        )
+    ]
+)
+```
+The above example is using an intermediate build `b5046` of the library. This can be modified
+to use a different version by changing the URL and checksum.
+
 ## Completions
 Command-line completion is available for some environments.

+## Running MUSA CI in a Docker Container
+
+Assuming `$PWD` is the root of the `llama.cpp` repository, follow these steps to set up and run MUSA CI in a Docker container:
+
+### 1. Create a local directory to store cached models, configuration files and venv:
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p $HOME/llama.cpp/ci-cache
+```
+
+### 2. Create a local directory to store CI run results:
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p $HOME/llama.cpp/ci-results
+```
+
+### 3. Start a Docker container and run the CI:
+
+```bash
+docker run --privileged -it \
+    -v $HOME/llama.cpp/ci-cache:/ci-cache \
+    -v $HOME/llama.cpp/ci-results:/ci-results \
+    -v $PWD:/ws -w /ws \
+    mthreads/musa:rc3.1.1-devel-ubuntu22.04
+```
+
+Inside the container, execute the following commands:
+
+```bash
+apt update -y && apt install -y bc cmake ccache git python3.10-venv time unzip wget
+git config --global --add safe.directory /ws
+GG_BUILD_MUSA=1 bash ./ci/run.sh /ci-results /ci-cache
+```
+
+This setup ensures that the CI runs within an isolated Docker environment while maintaining cached files and results across runs.

+## Installing Nvidia Driver Libraries

-We need to detect if the host is supplying the [NVIDIA driver libraries into the toolbox](https://github.com/containers/toolbox/blob/main/src/pkg/nvidia/nvidia.go).
+First, we need to detect if the host is supplying the [NVIDIA driver libraries into the toolbox](https://github.com/containers/toolbox/blob/main/src/pkg/nvidia/nvidia.go):

 ```bash
 ls -la /usr/lib64/libcuda.so.1
 ```

+### If *`libcuda.so.1`* is missing:
+
+```
+ls: cannot access '/usr/lib64/libcuda.so.1': No such file or directory
+```
+
 **Explanation:**
+The host dose not supply the CUDA drivers, **install them now:**

- `nvidia-driver-libs` and `nvidia-driver-cuda-libs` contains necessary NVIDIA driver libraries required by CUDA,
-  on hosts with NVIDIA drivers installed the Fedora Container will supply the host libraries.
-
-### Install Nvidia Driver Libraries on Guest (if `libcuda.so.1` was NOT found).

+```

-If the installation fails due to conflicts, we'll manually download and install the required packages, excluding conflicting files.
+**Explanation:**
+The host is supply the CUDA drivers, **we need to update the guest RPM Database accordingly:**

-#### 1. Download `nvidia-driver-libs` and `nvidia-driver-cuda-libs` RPM's (with dependencies)
+#### Update the Toolbox RPM Database to include the Host-Supplied Libraries:
+
+Note: we do not actually install the libraries, we just update the DB so that the guest system knows they are supplied by the host.

  On Linux it is also possible to use unified memory architecture (UMA) to share main memory between the CPU and integrated GPU by setting `-DGGML_HIP_UMA=ON`.
  However, this hurts performance for non-integrated GPUs (but enables working with integrated GPUs).

+  To enhance flash attention performance on RDNA3+ or CDNA architectures, you can utilize the rocWMMA library by enabling the `-DGGML_HIP_ROCWMMA_FATTN=ON` option. This requires rocWMMA headers to be installed on the build system.
+
+  The rocWMMA library is included by default when installing the ROCm SDK using the `rocm` meta package provided by AMD. Alternatively, if you are not using the meta package, you can install the library using the `rocwmma-dev` or `rocwmma-devel` package, depending on your system's package manager.
+
+  As an alternative, you can manually install the library by cloning it from the official [GitHub repository](https://github.com/ROCm/rocWMMA), checkout the corresponding version tag (e.g. `rocm-6.2.4`) and set `-DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-I<path/to/rocwmma>/library/include/"` in CMake. This also works under Windows despite not officially supported by AMD.

+## Arm® KleidiAI™
+KleidiAI is a library of optimized microkernels for AI workloads, specifically designed for Arm CPUs. These microkernels enhance performance and can be enabled for use by the CPU backend.
+
+To enable KleidiAI, go to the llama.cpp directory and build using CMake
+```bash
+cmake -B build -DGGML_CPU_KLEIDIAI=ON
+cmake --build build --config Release
+```
+You can verify that KleidiAI is being used by running
+```bash
+./build/bin/llama-cli -m PATH_TO_MODEL -p "What is a car?"
+```
+If KleidiAI is enabled, the ouput will contain a line similar to:
+```
+load_tensors: CPU_KLEIDIAI model buffer size =  3474.00 MiB
+```
+KleidiAI's microkernels implement optimized tensor operations using Arm CPU features such as dotprod, int8mm and SME. llama.cpp selects the most efficient kernel based on runtime CPU feature detection. However, on platforms that support SME, you must manually enable SME microkernels by setting the environment variable `GGML_KLEIDIAI_SME=1`.
+
+Depending on your build target, other higher priority backends may be enabled by default. To ensure the CPU backend is used, you must disable the higher priority backends either at compile time, e.g. -DGGML_METAL=OFF, or during run-time using the command line option `--device none`.

+# Function Calling
+
+[chat.h](../common/chat.h) (https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/pull/9639) adds support for [OpenAI-style function calling](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/function-calling) and is used in:
+- `llama-server` when started w/ `--jinja` flag
+- `llama-cli` (WIP: https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/pull/11556)
+
+## Universal support w/ Native & Generic handlers
+
+Function calling is supported for all models (see https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/pull/9639):
+
+- Native tool call formats supported:
+  - Llama 3.1 / 3.3 (including builtin tools support - tool names for `wolfram_alpha`, `web_search` / `brave_search`, `code_interpreter`), Llama 3.2
+  - Functionary v3.1 / v3.2
+  - Hermes 2/3, Qwen 2.5
+  - Qwen 2.5 Coder (WIP: https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/pull/12034)
+  - Mistral Nemo
+  - Firefunction v2
+  - Command R7B
+  - DeepSeek R1 (WIP / seems reluctant to call any tools?)
+
+- Generic tool call is supported when the template isn't recognized by native format handlers (you'll see `Chat format: Generic` in the logs).
+  - Use `--chat-template-file` to override the template when appropriate (see examples below)
+  - Generic support may consume more tokens and be less efficient than a model's native format.

+
+# Usage - need tool-aware Jinja template
+
+First, start a server with any model, but make sure it has a tools-enabled template: you can verify this by inspecting the `chat_template` or `chat_template_tool_use` properties in `http://localhost:8080/props`).
+
+Here are some models known to work (w/ chat template override when needed):
+
+```shell
+# Native support:
+
+llama-server --jinja -fa -hf bartowski/Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct-GGUF:Q4_K_M
+llama-server --jinja -fa -hf bartowski/Mistral-Nemo-Instruct-2407-GGUF:Q6_K_L
+llama-server --jinja -fa -hf bartowski/Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct-GGUF:Q4_K_M
+
+# Native support for DeepSeek R1 works best w/ our template override (official template is buggy, although we do work around it)
+
+llama-server --jinja -fa -hf bartowski/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-7B-GGUF:Q6_K_L \
+    --chat-template-file models/templates/llama-cpp-deepseek-r1.jinja
+
+llama-server --jinja -fa -hf bartowski/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-32B-GGUF:Q4_K_M \
+    --chat-template-file models/templates/llama-cpp-deepseek-r1.jinja
+
+# Native support requires the right template for these GGUFs:
+
+llama-server --jinja -fa -hf bartowski/functionary-small-v3.2-GGUF:Q4_K_M
+    --chat-template-file models/templates/meetkai-functionary-medium-v3.2.jinja
+
+llama-server --jinja -fa -hf bartowski/Hermes-2-Pro-Llama-3-8B-GGUF:Q4_K_M \

+
+llama-server --jinja -fa -hf bartowski/Hermes-3-Llama-3.1-8B-GGUF:Q4_K_M \
+    --chat-template-file models/templates/NousResearch-Hermes-3-Llama-3.1-8B-tool_use.jinja
+
+llama-server --jinja -fa -hf bartowski/firefunction-v2-GGUF -hff firefunction-v2-IQ1_M.gguf \
+    --chat-template-file models/templates/fireworks-ai-llama-3-firefunction-v2.jinja
+
+llama-server --jinja -fa -hf bartowski/c4ai-command-r7b-12-2024-GGUF:Q6_K_L \
+    --chat-template-file models/templates/CohereForAI-c4ai-command-r7b-12-2024-tool_use.jinja
+
+# Generic format support
+llama-server --jinja -fa -hf bartowski/phi-4-GGUF:Q4_0
+llama-server --jinja -fa -hf bartowski/gemma-2-2b-it-GGUF:Q8_0
+llama-server --jinja -fa -hf bartowski/c4ai-command-r-v01-GGUF:Q2_K
+```
+
+To get the official template from original HuggingFace repos, you can use [scripts/get_chat_template.py](../scripts/get_chat_template.py) (see examples invocations in [models/templates/README.md](../models/templates/README.md))
+
+> [!TIP]
+> If there is no official `tool_use` Jinja template, you may want to set `--chat-template chatml` to use a default that works with many models (YMMV!), or write your own (e.g. we provide a custom [llama-cpp-deepseek-r1.jinja](../models/templates/llama-cpp-deepseek-r1.jinja) for DeepSeek R1 distills)
+
+Test in CLI (or with any library / software that can use OpenAI-compatible API backends):
+
+```bash
+curl http://localhost:8080/v1/chat/completions -d '{

+### Building
+First llama.cpp need to be built and a XCFramework needs to be created. This can be done by running
+the following script from the llama.cpp project root:
+```console
+$ ./build-xcframework.sh
+```
+Open `llama.swiftui.xcodeproj` project in Xcode and you should be able to build and run the app on
+a simulator or a real device.
+
+To use the framework with a different project, the XCFramework can be added to the project by
+adding `build-apple/llama.xcframework` by dragging and dropping it into the project navigator, or
+by manually selecting the framework in the "Frameworks, Libraries, and Embedded Content" section
+of the project settings.

+> This is very experimental, only used for demo purpose.
+
+## Quick started
+
+You can use pre-quantized model from [ggml-org](https://huggingface.co/ggml-org)'s Hugging Face account
+
+```bash
+# build
+cmake -B build
+cmake --build build --target llama-gemma3-cli
+
+# alternatively, install from brew (MacOS)
+brew install llama.cpp
+
+# run it
+llama-gemma3-cli -hf ggml-org/gemma-3-4b-it-GGUF
+llama-gemma3-cli -hf ggml-org/gemma-3-12b-it-GGUF
+llama-gemma3-cli -hf ggml-org/gemma-3-27b-it-GGUF
+
+# note: 1B model does not support vision
+```
+
+## How to get mmproj.gguf?
+
+```bash
+cd gemma-3-4b-it
+python ../llama.cpp/examples/llava/gemma3_convert_encoder_to_gguf.py .
+
+# output file is mmproj.gguf
+```
+
+## How to run it?
+
+What you need:
+- The text model GGUF, can be converted using `convert_hf_to_gguf.py`
+- The mmproj file from step above
+- An image file
+
+```bash
+# build
+cmake -B build
+cmake --build build --target llama-gemma3-cli
+
+# run it
+./build/bin/llama-gemma3-cli -m {text_model}.gguf --mmproj mmproj.gguf --image your_image.jpg

+
+Download the model and point your `GRANITE_MODEL` environment variable to the path.
+
+```bash
+$ git clone https://huggingface.co/ibm-granite/granite-vision-3.2-2b
+$ export GRANITE_MODEL=./granite-vision-3.2-2b
+```
+
+
+### 1. Running llava surgery v2.
+First, we need to run the llava surgery script as shown below:
+
+`python llava_surgery_v2.py -C -m $GRANITE_MODEL`
+
+You should see two new files (`llava.clip` and `llava.projector`) written into your model's directory, as shown below.
+
+```bash
+$ ls $GRANITE_MODEL | grep -i llava
+llava.clip
+llava.projector
+```
+
+We should see that the projector and visual encoder get split out into the llava files. Quick check to make sure they aren't empty:
+```python
+import os
+import torch
+
+MODEL_PATH = os.getenv("GRANITE_MODEL")
+if not MODEL_PATH:
+    raise ValueError("env var GRANITE_MODEL is unset!")
+
+encoder_tensors = torch.load(os.path.join(MODEL_PATH, "llava.clip"))
+projector_tensors = torch.load(os.path.join(MODEL_PATH, "llava.projector"))
+
+assert len(encoder_tensors) > 0
+assert len(projector_tensors) > 0
+```
+
+If you actually inspect the `.keys()` of the loaded tensors, you should see a lot of `vision_model` tensors in the `encoder_tensors`, and 5 tensors (`'multi_modal_projector.linear_1.bias'`, `'multi_modal_projector.linear_1.weight'`, `'multi_modal_projector.linear_2.bias'`, `'multi_modal_projector.linear_2.weight'`, `'image_newline'`) in the multimodal `projector_tensors`.
+
+
+### 2. Creating the Visual Component GGUF
+Next, create a new directory to hold the visual components, and copy the llava.clip/projector files, as shown below.
+
+```bash
+$ ENCODER_PATH=$PWD/visual_encoder
+$ mkdir $ENCODER_PATH
+
+$ cp $GRANITE_MODEL/llava.clip $ENCODER_PATH/pytorch_model.bin
+$ cp $GRANITE_MODEL/llava.projector $ENCODER_PATH/
+```
+
+Now, we need to write a config for the visual encoder. In order to convert the model, be sure to use the correct `image_grid_pinpoints`, as these may vary based on the model. You can find the `image_grid_pinpoints` in `$GRANITE_MODEL/config.json`.
+
+```json
+{
+    "_name_or_path": "siglip-model",
+    "architectures": [

+    "projection_dim": 0,
+    "vision_feature_layer": [-24, -20, -12, -1]
+}
+```
+
+At this point you should have something like this:
+```bash
+$ ls $ENCODER_PATH
+config.json             llava.projector         pytorch_model.bin
+```
+
+Now convert the components to GGUF; Note that we also override the image mean/std dev to `[.5,.5,.5]` since we use the SigLIP visual encoder - in the transformers model, you can find these numbers in the `preprocessor_config.json`.
+```bash
+$ python convert_image_encoder_to_gguf.py \
+    -m $ENCODER_PATH \
+    --llava-projector $ENCODER_PATH/llava.projector \
+    --output-dir $ENCODER_PATH \
+    --clip-model-is-vision \
+    --clip-model-is-siglip \
+    --image-mean 0.5 0.5 0.5 \
+    --image-std 0.5 0.5 0.5
+```
+
+This will create the first GGUF file at `$ENCODER_PATH/mmproj-model-f16.gguf`; we will refer to the absolute path of this file as the `$VISUAL_GGUF_PATH.`
+
+
+### 3. Creating the LLM GGUF.
+The granite vision model contains a granite LLM as its language model. For now, the easiest way to get the GGUF for LLM is by loading the composite model in `transformers` and exporting the LLM so that it can be directly converted with the normal conversion path.
+
+First, set the `LLM_EXPORT_PATH` to the path to export the `transformers` LLM to.
+```bash
+$ export LLM_EXPORT_PATH=$PWD/granite_vision_llm
+```
+
+```python
+import os
+import transformers
+
+MODEL_PATH = os.getenv("GRANITE_MODEL")
+if not MODEL_PATH:
+    raise ValueError("env var GRANITE_MODEL is unset!")
+
+LLM_EXPORT_PATH = os.getenv("LLM_EXPORT_PATH")
+if not LLM_EXPORT_PATH:
+    raise ValueError("env var LLM_EXPORT_PATH is unset!")
+
+tokenizer = transformers.AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(MODEL_PATH)
+
+# NOTE: granite vision support was added to transformers very recently (4.49);
+# if you get size mismatches, your version is too old.
+# If you are running with an older version, set `ignore_mismatched_sizes=True`
+# as shown below; it won't be loaded correctly, but the LLM part of the model that
+# we are exporting will be loaded correctly.
+model = transformers.AutoModelForImageTextToText.from_pretrained(MODEL_PATH, ignore_mismatched_sizes=True)
+
+tokenizer.save_pretrained(LLM_EXPORT_PATH)
+model.language_model.save_pretrained(LLM_EXPORT_PATH)
+```
+
+Now you can convert the exported LLM to GGUF with the normal converter in the root of the llama cpp project.
+```bash
+$ LLM_GGUF_PATH=$LLM_EXPORT_PATH/granite_llm.gguf
+...
+$ python convert_hf_to_gguf.py --outfile $LLM_GGUF_PATH $LLM_EXPORT_PATH
+```
+
+
+### 4. Quantization
+If you want to quantize the LLM, you can do so with `llama-quantize` as you would any other LLM. For example:
+```bash
+$ ./build/bin/llama-quantize $LLM_EXPORT_PATH/granite_llm.gguf $LLM_EXPORT_PATH/granite_llm_q4_k_m.gguf Q4_K_M
+$ LLM_GGUF_PATH=$LLM_EXPORT_PATH/granite_llm_q4_k_m.gguf
+```
+
+Note that currently you cannot quantize the visual encoder because granite vision models use SigLIP as the visual encoder, which has tensor dimensions that are not divisible by 32.
+
+
+### 5. Running the Model in Llama cpp
+Build llama cpp normally; you should have a target binary named `llama-llava-cli`, which you can pass two binaries to. As an example, we pass the the llama.cpp banner.
+
+```bash
+$ ./build/bin/llama-llava-cli -m $LLM_GGUF_PATH \
+    --mmproj $VISUAL_GGUF_PATH \
+    --image ./media/llama0-banner.png \
+    -c 16384 \
+    -p "<|system|>\nA chat between a curious user and an artificial intelligence assistant. The assistant gives helpful, detailed, and polite answers to the user's questions.\n<|user|>\n\<image>\nWhat does the text in this image say?\n<|assistant|>\n" \
+    --temp 0
+```
+
+Sample output: `The text in the image reads "LLAMA C++ Can it run DOOM Llama?"`

-### 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

 ## Context Management

 During text generation, LLaMA models have a limited context size, which means they can only consider a certain number of tokens from the input and generated text. When the context fills up, the model resets internally, potentially losing some information from the beginning of the conversation or instructions. Context management options help maintain continuity and coherence in these situations.

 This way you can offload model layers to both local and remote devices.

+### Local cache
+
+The RPC server can use a local cache to store large tensors and avoid transferring them over the network.
+This can speed up model loading significantly, especially when using large models.
+To enable the cache, use the `-c` option:
+
+```bash
+$ bin/rpc-server -c
+```
+
+By default, the cache is stored in the `$HOME/.cache/llama.cpp/rpc` directory and can be controlled via the `LLAMA_CACHE` environment variable.

 *Tool call support*

-[Function calling](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/function-calling) is supported for all models (see https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/pull/9639):
+[OpenAI-style function calling](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/function-calling) is supported with the `--jinja` flag (and may require a `--chat-template-file` override to get the right tool-use compatible Jinja template; worst case, `--chat-template chatml` may also work).

- Requires `--jinja` flag
- Native tool call formats supported:
-  - Llama 3.1 / 3.3 (including builtin tools support - tool names for `wolfram_alpha`, `web_search` / `brave_search`, `code_interpreter`), Llama 3.2
-  - Functionary v3.1 / v3.2
-  - Hermes 2/3, Qwen 2.5

- Generic tool call is supported when the template isn't recognized by native format handlers (you'll see `Chat format: Generic` in the logs).
-  - Use `--chat-template-file` to override the template when appropriate (see examples below)
-  - Generic support may consume more tokens and be less efficient than a model's native format.
