## Quick start

Build from source:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/ggml-org/ggml
cd ggml

mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build . --config Release -j 8
```

For a minimal, fully commented example (matrix multiplication), see [examples/simple](examples/simple).

## Description

The main goal of `ggml` is to be a simple, portable, and efficient tensor library for machine learning with minimal setup.

- Plain C/C++ implementation without any dependencies
- Cross-platform - x86, ARM, RISC-V, LoongArch, PowerPC, s390x, and WebAssembly
- SIMD-optimized kernels for x86, ARM, and RISC-V
- Broad backend support - CPU, GPU, NPU, and browser
- 2- to 8-bit integer quantization, plus MXFP4 and NVFP4 microscaling formats
- Zero memory allocations during runtime
