 Nightly container images with llama-swap and llama-server are built for multiple platforms (cuda, vulkan, intel, etc.) including [non-root variants with improved security](docs/container-security.md).
+The whisper.cpp server is also included for the cuda, musa and vulkan platforms.
 The stable-diffusion.cpp server is also included for the musa and vulkan platforms.
