 ## 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
-- CUDA, Metal, OpenCL, SYCL GPU backend 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.
