.cortexrc

warning

🚧 Cortex.cpp is currently under development. Our documentation outlines the intended behavior of Cortex, which may not yet be fully implemented in the codebase.

Cortex.cpp supports reading its configuration from a file called .cortexrc. Using this file, you can also change the data folder, Cortex.cpp API server port, and host.

File Location

The configuration file is stored in the following locations:

• Windows: C:\Users\<username>\.cortexrc
• Linux: /home/<username>/.cortexrc
• macOS: /Users/<username>/.cortexrc

Configuration Parameters

You can configure the following parameters in the .cortexrc file:

Parameter	Description	Default Value

apiServerHost	Host address for the Cortex.cpp API server.	127.0.0.1
apiServerPort	Port number for the Cortex.cpp API server.	39281
logFolderPath	Path the folder where logs are located	User's home folder.
logLlamaCppPath	The llama-cpp engine .	./logs/cortex.log
logTensorrtLLMPath	The tensorrt-llm engine log file path.	./logs/cortex.log
logOnnxPath	The onnxruntime engine log file path.	./logs/cortex.log
maxLogLines	The maximum log lines that write to file.	100000
checkedForUpdateAt	The last time for checking updates.	0
latestRelease	The lastest release vesion.	Empty string
huggingFaceToken	HuggingFace token.	Empty string
