+- July 2025: All backends migrated outside of the main binary. LocalAI is now more lightweight, small, and automatically downloads the required backend to run the model. [Read the release notes](https://github.com/mudler/LocalAI/releases/tag/v3.2.0)
 - June 2025: [Backend management](https://github.com/mudler/LocalAI/pull/5607) has been added. Attention: extras images are going to be deprecated from the next release! Read [the backend management PR](https://github.com/mudler/LocalAI/pull/5607).
 - May 2025: [Audio input](https://github.com/mudler/LocalAI/pull/5466) and [Reranking](https://github.com/mudler/LocalAI/pull/5396) in llama.cpp backend, [Realtime API](https://github.com/mudler/LocalAI/pull/5392),  Support to Gemma, SmollVLM, and more multimodal models (available in the gallery).
 - May 2025: Important: image name changes [See release](https://github.com/mudler/LocalAI/releases/tag/v2.29.0)

+LocalAI can be built as a container image or as a single, portable binary. Note that some model architectures might require Python libraries, which are not included in the binary.
 
 LocalAI's extensible architecture allows you to add your own backends, which can be written in any language, and as such the container images contains also the Python dependencies to run all the available backends (for example, in order to run backends like __Diffusers__ that allows to generate images and videos from text).

+## Build backends
 
-Image generation requires `GO_TAGS=stablediffusion` to be set during build:
+LocalAI have several backends available for installation in the backend gallery. The backends can be also built by source. As backends might vary from language and dependencies that they require, the documentation will provide generic guidance for few of the backends, which can be applied with some slight modifications also to the others.
+
+### Manually
+
+Typically each backend include a Makefile which allow to package the backend.
+
+In the LocalAI repository, for instance you can build `bark-cpp` by doing:
 
 ```
-make GO_TAGS=stablediffusion build
+git clone https://github.com/go-skynet/LocalAI.git
+
+# Build the bark-cpp backend (requires cmake)
+make -C LocalAI/backend/go/bark-cpp build package
+
+# Build vllm backend (requires python)
+make -C LocalAI/backend/python/vllm
 ```
 
-### Build with Text to audio support
+### With Docker
 
-**Requirements**: piper-phonemize
+Building with docker is simpler as abstracts away all the requirement, and focuses on building the final OCI images that are available in the gallery. This allows for instance also to build locally a backend and install it with LocalAI. You can refer to [Backends](https://localai.io/backends/) for general guidance on how to install and develop backends.
 
-Text to audio support is experimental and requires `GO_TAGS=tts` to be set during build:
+In the LocalAI repository, you can build `bark-cpp` by doing:

-```
-
-### Windows compatibility
-
-Make sure to give enough resources to the running container. See https://github.com/go-skynet/LocalAI/issues/2
-
-### Examples
-
-More advanced build options are available, for instance to build only a single backend.
-
-#### Build only a single backend
-
-You can control the backends that are built by setting the `GRPC_BACKENDS` environment variable. For instance, to build only the `llama-cpp` backend only:
+Note that `make` is only by convenience, in reality it just runs a simple `docker` command as:
 
 ```bash
-make GRPC_BACKENDS=backend-assets/grpc/llama-cpp build
+docker build --build-arg BUILD_TYPE=$(BUILD_TYPE) --build-arg BASE_IMAGE=$(BASE_IMAGE) -t local-ai-backend:bark-cpp -f LocalAI/backend/Dockerfile.golang --build-arg BACKEND=bark-cpp .               
 ```
 
-By default, all the backends are built.
+Note:
 
-#### Specific llama.cpp version
-
-To build with a specific version of llama.cpp, set `CPPLLAMA_VERSION` to the tag or wanted sha:
-
-```
-CPPLLAMA_VERSION=<sha> make build
-```
+- BUILD_TYPE can be either: `cublas`, `hipblas`, `sycl_f16`, `sycl_f32`, `metal`.
+- BASE_IMAGE is tested on `ubuntu:22.04` (and defaults to it)
