-## 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.

- As CMake Project using CMake presets.

-
-All following commands are executed in PowerShell.
-
-##### - Open as a CMake Project
-
-You can use Visual Studio to open the `llama.cpp` folder directly as a CMake project. Before compiling, select one of the SYCL CMake presets:
-
- `x64-windows-sycl-release`
-
- `x64-windows-sycl-debug`
+You can use Visual Studio to open llama.cpp folder as a CMake project. Choose the sycl CMake presets (`x64-windows-sycl-release` or `x64-windows-sycl-debug`) before you compile the project.

 *Notes:*
- For a minimal experimental setup, you can build only the inference executable using:

-    ```Powershell
-    cmake --build build --config Release -j --target llama-cli
-    ```
-
-##### - Generating a Visual Studio Solution
-
-You can use Visual Studio solution to build and work on llama.cpp on Windows. You need to convert the CMake Project into a `.sln` file.
-
-If you want to use the Intel C++ Compiler for the entire `llama.cpp` project, run the following command:
-
-```Powershell
-cmake -B build -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -T "Intel C++ Compiler 2025" -A x64 -DGGML_SYCL=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
-```
-
-If you prefer to use the Intel C++ Compiler only for `ggml-sycl`, ensure that `ggml` and its backend libraries are built as shared libraries ( i.e. `-DBUILD_SHARED_LIBRARIES=ON`, this is default behaviour):
-
-```Powershell
-cmake -B build -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -A x64 -DGGML_SYCL=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
-      -DSYCL_INCLUDE_DIR="C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI\compiler\latest\include" \
-      -DSYCL_LIBRARY_DIR="C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI\compiler\latest\lib"
-```
-
-If successful the build files have been written to: *path/to/llama.cpp/build*
-Open the project file **build/llama.cpp.sln** with Visual Studio.
-
-Once the Visual Studio solution is created, follow these steps:
-
-1. Open the solution in Visual Studio.
-
-2. Right-click on `ggml-sycl` and select **Properties**.
-
-3. In the left column, expand **C/C++** and select **DPC++**.
-
-4. In the right panel, find **Enable SYCL Offload** and set it to `Yes`.
-
-5. Apply the changes and save.
-
-
-*Navigation Path:*
-
-```
-Properties -> C/C++ -> DPC++ -> Enable SYCL Offload (Yes)
-```
-
-Now, you can build `llama.cpp` with the SYCL backend as a Visual Studio project.
-To do it from menu: `Build -> Build Solution`.
-Once it is completed, final results will be in **build/Release/bin**
-
-*Additional Note*
-
- You can avoid specifying `SYCL_INCLUDE_DIR` and `SYCL_LIBRARY_DIR` in the CMake command by setting the environment variables:
-
-    - `SYCL_INCLUDE_DIR_HINT`
-
-    - `SYCL_LIBRARY_DIR_HINT`
-
- Above instruction has been tested with Visual Studio 17 Community edition and oneAPI 2025.0. We expect them to work also with future version if the instructions are adapted accordingly.
+- In case of a minimal experimental setup, the user can build the inference executable only through `cmake --build build --config Release -j --target llama-cli`.

-## 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`.

-## 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

 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.
