 This project uses [pre-commit.ci](https://pre-commit.ci/) with GitHub Actions. All pull requests are automatically checked for pre-commit compliance, and any pre-commit failures will block merging until resolved.

 **Note on workflow flexibility**
 Some contributors prefer to commit intermediate or work-in-progress changes that may not pass all pre-commit checks, and only clean up their commits before pushing (for example, by squashing and running `pre-commit run --all-files` manually at the end). If this fits your workflow, you may choose not to run `pre-commit install` and instead rely on manual checks. This approach avoids disruption during iterative development, while still ensuring code quality before code is shared or merged.

+CUDA Python is the home for accessing NVIDIA's CUDA platform from Python. It consists of multiple components:
+
+* `cuda.core <https://nvidia.github.io/cuda-python/cuda-core/latest>`_: Pythonic access to CUDA Runtime and other core functionalities
+* `cuda.bindings <https://nvidia.github.io/cuda-python/cuda-bindings/latest>`_: Low-level Python bindings to CUDA C APIs
+* `cuda.cooperative <https://nvidia.github.io/cccl/cuda_cooperative/>`_: A Python package providing CCCL's reusable block-wide and warp-wide *device* primitives for use within Numba CUDA kernels
+* `cuda.parallel <https://nvidia.github.io/cccl/cuda_parallel/>`_: A Python package for easy access to CCCL's highly efficient and customizable parallel algorithms, like `sort`, `scan`, `reduce`, `transform`, etc, that are callable on the *host*
+* `numba.cuda <https://nvidia.github.io/numba-cuda/>`_: Numba's target for CUDA GPU programming by directly compiling a restricted subset of Python code into CUDA kernels and device functions following the CUDA execution model.
+
+For access to NVIDIA CPU & GPU Math Libraries, please refer to `nvmath-python <https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/nvmath-python/latest>`_.
+
+CUDA Python is currently undergoing an overhaul to improve existing and bring up new components. All of the previously available functionalities from the `cuda-python` package will continue to be available, please refer to the `cuda.bindings <https://nvidia.github.io/cuda-python/cuda-bindings/latest>`_ documentation for installation guide and further detail.
+
+cuda-python as a metapackage
+============================
+
+`cuda-python` is now a metapackage that contains a collection of subpackages. Each subpackage is versioned independently, allowing installation of each component as needed.
+
+Subpackage: cuda.core
+---------------------
+
+The `cuda.core` package offers idiomatic, pythonic access to CUDA Runtime and other functionalities.
+
+The goals are to
+
+1. Provide **idiomatic ("pythonic")** access to CUDA Driver, Runtime, and JIT compiler toolchain
+2. Focus on **developer productivity** by ensuring end-to-end CUDA development can be performed quickly and entirely in Python
+3. **Avoid homegrown** Python abstractions for CUDA for new Python GPU libraries starting from scratch
+4. **Ease** developer **burden of maintaining** and catching up with latest CUDA features
+5. **Flatten the learning curve** for current and future generations of CUDA developers
+
+Subpackage: cuda.bindings
+-------------------------
+
+The `cuda.bindings` package is a standard set of low-level interfaces, providing full coverage of and access to the CUDA host APIs from Python.
+
+The list of available interfaces are:
+
+* CUDA Driver
+* CUDA Runtime
+* NVRTC
+* nvJitLink
+* NVVM
