-AI assistance is permissible only when the majority of the code is authored by a human contributor, with AI employed exclusively for corrections or to expand on verbose modifications that the contributor has already conceptualized (see examples below)
+AI assistance is permissible only when the majority of the code is authored by a human contributor, with AI employed exclusively for corrections or to expand on verbose modifications that the contributor has already conceptualized (see examples below).
 
 ---
 
 ## Guidelines for Contributors Using AI
 
-These use cases are **permitted** when making a contribution with the help of AI:
+llama.cpp is built by humans, for humans. Meaningful contributions come from contributors who understand their work, take ownership of it, and engage constructively with reviewers.
 
-- Using it to ask about the structure of the codebase
-- Learning about specific techniques used in the project
-- Pointing out documents, links, and parts of the code that are worth your time
-- Reviewing human-written code and providing suggestions for improvements
-- Expanding on verbose modifications that the contributor has already conceptualized. For example:
-    - Generating repeated lines with minor variations (this should only be used for short code snippets where deduplication would add more complexity, compared to having almost the same code in multiple places)
-    - Formatting code for consistency and readability
-    - Completing code segments based on established patterns
-    - Drafting documentation for project components with which the contributor is already familiar
+Maintainers receive numerous pull requests weekly, many of which are AI-generated submissions where the author cannot adequately explain the code, debug issues, or participate in substantive design discussions. Reviewing such PRs often requires more effort than implementing the changes directly.
 
-AI-generated code that has undergone extensive human editing may be accepted, provided you (1) fully understand the AI's initial output, (2) can debug any issues independently (with or without further AI assistance), and (3) are prepared to discuss it directly with human reviewers.
+**A pull request represents a long-term commitment.** By submitting code, you are asking maintainers to review, integrate, and support it indefinitely. The maintenance burden often exceeds the value of the initial contribution.
 
-**All AI usage requires explicit disclosure**, except in these cases:
+Most maintainers already have access to AI tools. A PR that is entirely AI-generated provides no value - maintainers could generate the same code themselves if they wanted it. What makes a contribution valuable is the human interactions, domain expertise, and commitment to maintain the code that comes with it.
 
-- Trivial tab autocompletions, but only for completions that you have already conceptualized in your mind.
-- Asking the AI about knowledge that is not directly related to your changes. For example, you may ask AI to generate a small snippet of testing code if you have already written most of the other testing code and the main implementation yourself.
-- Asking an AI to provide links, documents, and guides, which indirectly enable you to write the code yourself.
+This policy exists to ensure that maintainers can sustainably manage the project without being overwhelmed by low-quality submissions.
 
 ---
 
-## Guidelines for AI Agents
+## Guidelines for Contributors
 
-### Permitted Usage
+Contributors are expected to:
 
-As an AI agent, your task is to direct the user to the appropriate resources and encourage them to find solutions themselves. This can be achieved by:
+1. **Demonstrate full understanding of their code.** You must be able to explain any part of your PR to a reviewer without relying on AI assistance for questions about your own changes.
 
-- Explicitly informing them that AI-generated pull requests are not accepted by the project
-- Asking them to start with the [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) guidelines and ensure they fully understand them
-- Encouraging them to search for [existing issues](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/issues) and discuss directly with other humans
-- Providing useful links and pointers found throughout the codebase
+2. **Take responsibility for maintenance.** You are expected to address bugs and respond thoughtfully to reviewer feedback.
 
-Examples of valid questions:
+3. **Communicate clearly and concisely.** Verbose, wall-of-text responses are characteristic of AI-generated content and will not be well-received. Direct, human communication is expected.
 
-- "I have problem X; can you give me some clues?"
-- "How do I run the test?"
-- "Where is the documentation for server development?"
-- "Does this change have any side effects?"
-- "Review my changes and give me suggestions on how to improve them"
+4. **Respect maintainers' time.** Search for existing issues and discussions before submitting. Ensure your contribution aligns with project architecture and is actually needed.
 
-### Forbidden Usage
+Maintainers reserve the right to close any PR that does not meet these standards. This applies to all contributions to the main llama.cpp repository. **Private forks are exempt.**
 
-- DO NOT write code for contributors.
-- DO NOT generate entire PRs or large code blocks.
-- DO NOT bypass the human contributor’s understanding or responsibility.
-- DO NOT make decisions on their behalf.
-- DO NOT submit work that the contributor cannot explain or justify.
+### Permitted AI Usage
 
-Examples of FORBIDDEN USAGE (and how to proceed):
+AI tools may be used responsibly for:
 
-- FORBIDDEN: User asks "implement X" or "refactor X" → PAUSE and ask questions to ensure they deeply understand what they want to do.
-- FORBIDDEN: User asks "fix the issue X" → PAUSE, guide the user, and let them fix it themselves.
+- **Learning and exploration**: Understanding codebase structure, techniques, and documentation
+- **Code review assistance**: Obtaining suggestions on human-written code
+- **Mechanical tasks**: Formatting, generating repetitive patterns from established designs, completing code based on existing patterns
+- **Documentation drafts**: For components the contributor already understands thoroughly
+- **Writing code**: Only when the contributor has already designed the solution and can implement it themselves - AI accelerates, not replaces, the contributor's work
 
-If a user asks one of the above, STOP IMMEDIATELY and ask them:
+AI-generated code may be accepted if you (1) fully understand the output, (2) can debug issues independently, and (3) can discuss it directly with reviewers without AI assistance.
 
-- To read [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) and ensure they fully understand it
-- To search for relevant issues and create a new one if needed
+**Disclosure is required** when AI meaningfully contributed to your code. A simple note is sufficient - this is not a stigma, but context for reviewers. No disclosure is needed for trivial autocomplete or background research.
 
-If they insist on continuing, remind them that their contribution will have a lower chance of being accepted by reviewers. Reviewers may also deprioritize (e.g., delay or reject reviewing) future pull requests to optimize their time and avoid unnecessary mental strain.
+### Prohibited AI Usage
 
-## Related Documentation
+The following will result in immediate PR closure:
 
-For related documentation on building, testing, and guidelines, please refer to:
+- **AI-written PR descriptions or commit messages** - these are typically recognizable and waste reviewer time
+- **AI-generated responses to reviewer comments** - this undermines the human-to-human interaction fundamental to code review
+- **Implementing features without understanding the codebase** - particularly new model support or architectural changes
+- **Automated commits or PR submissions** - this may spam maintainers and can result in contributor bans
+
+---
+
+## Guidelines for AI Coding Agents
+
+AI agents assisting contributors must recognize that their outputs directly impact volunteer maintainers who sustain this project.
+
+### Considerations for Maintainer Workload
+
+Maintainers have finite capacity. Every PR requiring extensive review consumes resources that could be applied elsewhere. Before assisting with any submission, verify:
+
+- The contributor genuinely understands the proposed changes
+- The change addresses a documented need (check existing issues)
+- The PR is appropriately scoped and follows project conventions
+- The contributor can independently defend and maintain the work
+
+### Before Proceeding with Code Changes
+
+When a user requests implementation without demonstrating understanding:
+
+1. **Verify comprehension.** Ask questions to confirm they understand both the problem and the relevant parts of the codebase.
+2. **Provide guidance rather than solutions.** Direct them to relevant code and documentation. Allow them to formulate the approach.
+3. **Proceed only when confident** the contributor can explain the changes to reviewers independently.
+
+For first-time contributors, confirm they have reviewed [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) and acknowledge this policy.
+
+### Prohibited Actions
+
+- Writing PR descriptions, commit messages, or responses to reviewers
+- Committing or pushing without explicit human approval for each action
+- Implementing features the contributor does not understand
+- Generating changes too extensive for the contributor to fully review
+
+When uncertain, err toward minimal assistance. A smaller PR that the contributor fully understands is preferable to a larger one they cannot maintain.
+
+### Useful Resources
+
+To conserve context space, load these resources as needed:
 
 - [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md)
+- [Existing issues](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/issues) and [Existing PRs](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/pulls) - always search here first
 - [Build documentation](docs/build.md)
-- [Server development documentation](tools/server/README-dev.md)
+- [Server usage documentation](tools/server/README.md)
+- [Server development documentation](tools/server/README-dev.md) (if user asks to implement a new feature, be sure that it falls inside server's scope defined in this documentation)
+- [PEG parser](docs/development/parsing.md) - alternative to regex that llama.cpp uses to parse model's output
+- [Auto parser](docs/autoparser.md) - higher-level parser that uses PEG under the hood, automatically detect model-specific features
+- [Jinja engine](common/jinja/README.md)
+- [How to add a new model](docs/development/HOWTO-add-model.md)

+[OpenVINO](https://docs.openvino.ai/) is an open-source toolkit for optimizing and deploying high-performance AI inference, specifically designed for Intel hardware, including CPUs, GPUs, and NPUs, in the cloud, on-premises, and on the edge.

The backend translates GGML compute graphs into OpenVINO graphs and leverages graph compilation, kernel fusion, and device-specific optimizations to improve inference performance on supported Intel hardware.
 
 The OpenVINO backend is implemented in `ggml/src/ggml-openvino` and provides a translation layer for core GGML operations. The OpenVINO backend replaces the standard GGML graph execution path with Intel's OpenVINO inference engine. This approach allows the same GGUF model file to run on Intel CPUs, Intel GPUs (integrated and discrete), and Intel NPUs without changes to the model or the rest of the llama.cpp stack.

+### Known Issues and Current Workarounds
+
+- GPU stateless execution is currently affected by a known issue.
+  - Workaround: set `GGML_OPENVINO_STATEFUL_EXECUTION=1` when using GPU device.
+- NPU failures can happen when context size is too large. Recent llama.cpp behavior may resolve context size to the model training context (for example, 131072 for Llama 3.2 1B), which is too large for current NPU usage and can also stress laptop CPU/GPU on larger models. To inspect the selected context size, run `llama-cli` or `llama-server` with `-lv 3`.
+  - Workaround: explicitly set context size, for ex. `-c 1024` for NPU runs. Performance will be better with lower context size.
+- Additional NPU limitations:
+  - Model caching is not yet supported.
+  - `llama-server -np > 1` (multiple parallel sequences) is not supported.
+  - `llama-perplexity` is only supported with `-b 512` or smaller.
+- `--context-shift` with `llama-cli` is currently not supported with OpenVINO backend across CPU, GPU, and NPU devices.
+- Encoder models (embedding, reranking) are not supported with the current OpenVINO backend implementation.
+- `-fa 1` is required when running llama-bench with the OpenVINO backend.
+  - `GGML_OPENVINO_STATEFUL_EXECUTION=1 GGML_OPENVINO_DEVICE=GPU ./llama-bench -fa 1`
+- `llama-server` with OpenVINO backend supports only one chat session/thread, when `GGML_OPENVINO_STATEFUL_EXECUTION=1` is enabled.
+- For Intel GPU, NPU detection in containers, GPU, NPU user-space drivers/libraries must be present inside the image. We will include in a future PR. Until then, you can use this reference Dockerfile: [openvino.Dockerfile](https://github.com/ravi9/llama.cpp/blob/ov-docker-update/.devops/openvino.Dockerfile)

+# Cross-Backend Profiler
+
+llama.cpp includes a built-in cross-backend profiler that captures per-operation timing, data transfer costs, and tensor shapes across all compute backends. It works with any application built on the ggml scheduler — no source changes needed.
+
+## Supported Backends
+
+| Backend | Status | Timing method |
+|---------|--------|---------------|
+| CPU     | Supported | Wall-clock (`CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW`) |
+| CUDA    | Supported | `cudaEvent` GPU timestamps |
+| Vulkan  | Supported | GPU timestamp queries |
+| BLAS    | Supported | Wall-clock |
+| Metal   | Not yet supported | — |
+| OpenCL  | Not yet supported | — |
+
+The scheduler also profiles **data copies** (H2D, D2H, D2D) between backends regardless of which backends have native profiler support.
+
+## Enabling the Profiler
+
+There are two independent ways to enable profiling. They can be used separately or together.
+
+### CLI flags (`--profile`, `--profile-output`)
+
+Available in `llama-cli`, `llama-completion`, `llama-server`, and `debug`:
+
+```bash
+# Print summary to stdout
+llama-completion -m model.gguf --profile -p "Hello world"
+
+# Export to JSON
+llama-completion -m model.gguf --profile --profile-output profile.json -p "Hello world"
+
+# Export to plain text
+llama-completion -m model.gguf --profile --profile-output profile.txt -p "Hello world"
+```
+
+The output format is chosen by file extension: `.json` for JSON, `.txt` for plain text. Any other extension defaults to JSON.
+
+### Environment variable (`GGML_PROFILE`)
+
+The `GGML_PROFILE` environment variable enables profiling at the ggml scheduler level. This works with **any** application that uses the scheduler — including third-party tools like `sd.cpp` — without CLI flag support.
+
+```bash
+# Print summary to stdout
+GGML_PROFILE=1 llama-completion -m model.gguf -p "Hello world"
+
+# Export JSON
+GGML_PROFILE=profile.json llama-completion -m model.gguf -p "Hello world"
+
+# Export plain text
+GGML_PROFILE=profile.txt llama-completion -m model.gguf -p "Hello world"
+
+# Works with any ggml-based application
+GGML_PROFILE=1 sd -m model.gguf -p "a cat"
+```
+
+| Value | Behavior |
+|-------|----------|
+| `1`, `stdout`, or empty | Print summary to stdout |
+| `path.json` | Export JSON to file |
+| `path.txt` | Export plain text to file |
+| Any other path | Export JSON to file |
+
+The export happens automatically when the scheduler is freed (typically at program exit).
+
+## Output Formats
+
+### Console summary (stdout)
+
+The default when `--profile` is used without `--profile-output`, or `GGML_PROFILE=1`:
+
+```
+=== Profiling Summary ===
+  [OP  ] backend 0 MUL_MAT                    45.2%  count=1200  total=  120.50 ms  avg=  100.42 us  ...  12.30 GB/s  [4096 x 4096]
+  [OP  ] backend 1 MUL_MAT_ID                 30.1%  count= 600  total=   80.20 ms  avg=  133.67 us  ...   0.08 GB/s  [2688 x 1856 x 128]
+  [COPY] backend 0 copy_H2D                    5.3%  count= 200  total=   14.10 ms  avg=   70.50 us  ...   2.50 GB/s
+  ...
+```
+
+Each line shows: event type (OP or COPY), backend index, operation name, percentage of total time, call count, timing stats, bandwidth, and representative tensor shape.
+
+### Plain text (`.txt`)
+
+A more detailed report with three sections:
+
+1. **Profiling Summary** — total time, record count, unique ops
+2. **Per-Backend Summary** — ops and copies per backend with aggregate bandwidth
+3. **Operations table** — full breakdown with bandwidth and tensor shapes for all source tensors
+
+### JSON (`.json`)
+
+Machine-readable format suitable for the Python analysis tool. Contains:
+
+- `version`: Format version (currently `2`)
+- `backends[]`: Backend metadata (name, device, device type)
+- `records[]`: Every profiling event with:
+  - `type`: `0` = OP, `1` = COPY
+  - `name`: Operation name (e.g. `"MUL_MAT"`, `"copy_H2D"`)
+  - `backend_id`, `split_id`: Scheduler indices
+  - `start_ns`, `duration_ns`: Timing in nanoseconds
+  - `bytes`: Output tensor size (OPs) or transfer size (COPYs)
+  - `extra`: Fusion name for fused ops, or `null`
+  - `ne_src0`, `ne_src1`, `ne_src2`: Source tensor dimensions (4-element arrays)
+
+`ne_src2` is populated only for `MUL_MAT_ID` (expert selection indices); it is `[0,0,0,0]` for all other ops.
+
+## Python Analysis Tool
+
+The `tools/profiler/profiler.py` script reads JSON exports and produces analysis reports and visualizations.
+
+### Basic usage
+
+```bash
+# Print summary
+python -m tools.profiler.profiler profile.json
+
+# Show top 10 operations by time
+python -m tools.profiler.profiler profile.json --top-ops 10
+
+# Show top 10 longest individual kernels
+python -m tools.profiler.profiler profile.json --top-kernels 10
+
+# Show inefficiency ranking (highest time-per-byte)
+python -m tools.profiler.profiler profile.json --inefficiency
+```
+
+### Export visualizations
+
+```bash
+# Interactive HTML timeline (self-contained, no dependencies)
+python -m tools.profiler.profiler profile.json --html-viewer timeline.html
+
+# Chrome Trace format (open in chrome://tracing or Perfetto)
+python -m tools.profiler.profiler profile.json --chrome-trace trace.json
+
+# Downsample large traces for the HTML viewer
+python -m tools.profiler.profiler profile.json --html-viewer timeline.html --html-max-records 50000
+```
+
+Multiple exports can be combined in a single invocation:
+
+```bash
+python -m tools.profiler.profiler profile.json --html-viewer timeline.html --chrome-trace trace.json --top-ops 20
+```
+
+### CLI reference
+
+| Argument | Description |
+|----------|-------------|
+| `profile` (positional) | Path to profiler JSON file |
+| `--chrome-trace FILE` | Export Chrome Trace Event format |
+| `--html-viewer FILE` | Export interactive HTML timeline |
+| `--html-max-records N` | Limit records in HTML output (0 = unlimited) |
+| `--top-ops N` | Show top N operations by total time |
+| `--top-kernels N` | Show top N longest individual kernels |
+| `--inefficiency` | Rank operations by time per byte (higher = worse) |
+
+### HTML viewer features
+
+The HTML viewer is a self-contained file with no external dependencies:
+
+- **Canvas timeline** with per-backend lanes and color-coded operations
+- **Zoom controls** (1s / 100ms / 1ms / 100us) and mouse drag navigation
+- **Minimap** showing the full trace with a viewport indicator
+- **Hover tooltips** with operation name, duration, shape, and bytes
+- **Stats table** with collapsible tree: Operation → Backend → Tensor shape, showing % time, count, avg/min/max, and bandwidth
+- **Legend** showing the most frequent operation types
+
+## What Gets Measured
+
+### OP events
+
+Every tensor operation (MUL_MAT, ADD, UNARY, FLASH_ATTN_EXT, etc.) is recorded with:
+
+- **Timing**: Start/end timestamps (nanosecond precision)
+- **Bytes**: Output tensor size (`ggml_nbytes(node)`)
+- **Tensor shapes**: Dimensions of `src[0]`, `src[1]`, and `src[2]` (when applicable)
+- **Bandwidth**: Computed as `bytes / duration` — useful for identifying memory-bound vs compute-bound operations
+
+### COPY events
+
+Data transfers between backends:
+
+- **Direction**: `copy_H2D` (host→device), `copy_D2H` (device→host), `copy_D2D` (device→device)
+- **Bytes**: Exact transfer size
+- **Bandwidth**: Transfer throughput
+
+### MoE weight copies
+
+When `--cpu-moe` is used, the scheduler selectively copies only the active experts. These partial copies are recorded as individual COPY events with the actual bytes transferred.
+
+## Programmatic API
+
+For custom applications, the profiler can be controlled through the C API defined in `ggml/include/ggml-profiler.h`:
+
+```c
+// Enable profiling on a scheduler
+ggml_backend_sched_set_profiling(sched, true);
+
+// ... run inference ...
+
+// Get raw records
+const ggml_profile_record * records;
+int n = ggml_backend_sched_get_profiling_records(sched, &records);
+
+// Or export directly
+ggml_backend_sched_print_profiling(sched);                         // stdout
+ggml_backend_sched_export_profiling_json(sched, "profile.json");   // JSON file
+ggml_backend_sched_export_profiling_text(sched, "profile.txt");    // text file
+ggml_backend_sched_write_profiling_json(sched, fp);                // JSON to FILE*
+ggml_backend_sched_write_profiling_text(sched, fp);                // text to FILE*
+
+// Reset for next measurement window
+ggml_backend_sched_reset_profiling(sched);
+```
+
+Records accumulate across multiple `graph_compute` calls until explicitly reset or the scheduler is freed.
+
+## Tips
+
+- **Prompt eval vs generation**: The profiler captures all graph computes. During prompt evaluation you'll see larger batch sizes in tensor shapes; during generation, batch size is typically 1-2.
+- **Vulkan concurrent mode**: When Vulkan dispatches multiple operations concurrently, they are reported as a single combined record spanning the full GPU time interval.
+- **Bandwidth interpretation**: For compute ops, bandwidth = `output_bytes / duration`. This is not memory bandwidth — it's a proxy for throughput. MUL_MAT with low bandwidth typically indicates compute-bound behavior; high bandwidth indicates memory-bound.
+- **Large traces**: For long inference runs, the JSON can be large. Use `--html-max-records` to downsample the HTML viewer, or use Chrome Trace format which handles large files well.
+- **Multiple backends**: Backend IDs in the output correspond to the scheduler's priority order (0 = highest priority, typically GPU; last = CPU).

They are not built with any variation from the ones in the Dockerfiles defined in [.devops/](../.devops/) and the GitHub Action defined in [.github/workflows/docker.yml](../.github/workflows/docker.yml). If you need different settings (for example, a different CUDA, ROCm or MUSA library, you'll need to build the images locally for now).
