🚧 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 engines

This command allows you to manage various engines available within Cortex.

Usage:

info

You can use the --verbose flag to display more detailed output of the internal processes. To apply this flag, use the following format: cortex --verbose [subcommand].

MacOs/Linux

# Stable

cortex engines [options] [subcommand]

# Beta

cortex-beta engines [options] [subcommand]

# Nightly

cortex-nightly engines [options] [subcommand]

Windows

# Stable

cortex.exe engines [options] [subcommand]

# Beta

cortex-beta.exe engines [options] [subcommand]

# Nightly

cortex-nightly.exe engines [options] [subcommand]

Options:

Option	Description	Required	Default value	Example
-h, --help	Display help information for the command.	No	-	-h

cortex engines get

info

This CLI command calls the following API endpoint:

• Get Engine

This command returns an engine detail defined by an engine engine_name.

Usage:

info

You can use the --verbose flag to display more detailed output of the internal processes. To apply this flag, use the following format: cortex --verbose [subcommand].

MacOs/Linux

# Stable

cortex engines get <engine_name>

# Beta

cortex-beta engines get <engine_name>

# Nightly

cortex-nightly engines get <engine_name>

Windows

# Stable

cortex.exe engines get <engine_name>

# Beta

cortex-beta.exe engines get <engine_name>

# Nightly

cortex-nightly.exe engines get <engine_name>

For example, it returns the following:

┌─────────────┬────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐

│ (index) │ Values │

├─────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤

│ name │ 'onnx' │

│ description │ 'This extension enables chat completion API calls using the Cortex engine' │

│ version │ '0.0.1' │

│ productName │ 'Cortex Inference Engine' │

└─────────────┴────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

info

To get an engine name, run the engines list command first.

Options:

Option	Description	Required	Default value	Example
engine_name	The name of the engine that you want to retrieve.	Yes	-	llamacpp
-h, --help	Display help information for the command.	No	-	-h

cortex engines list

info

This CLI command calls the following API endpoint:

• List Engines

This command lists all the Cortex's engines.

Usage:

info

You can use the --verbose flag to display more detailed output of the internal processes. To apply this flag, use the following format: cortex --verbose [subcommand].

MacOs/Linux

# Stable

cortex engines list [options]

# Beta

cortex-beta engines list [options]

# Nightly

cortex-nightly engines list [options]

Windows

# Stable

cortex.exe engines list [options]

# Beta

cortex-beta.exe engines list [options]

# Nightly

cortex-nightly.exe engines list [options]

For example, it returns the following:

+---------+---------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------+------------------------------+-----------------+

| (Index) | name | description | version | product name | status |

+---------+---------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------+------------------------------+-----------------+

| 1 | onnx | This extension enables chat completion API calls using the Onnx engine | 0.0.1

| Onnx Inference Engine | not_initialized |

+---------+---------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------+------------------------------+-----------------+

| 2 | llamacpp | This extension enables chat completion API calls using the LlamaCPP engine | 0.0.1

| LlamaCPP Inference Engine | ready |

+---------+---------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------+------------------------------+-----------------+

| 3 | tensorrt-llm | This extension enables chat completion API calls using the TensorrtLLM engine | 0.0.1

| TensorrtLLM Inference Engine | not_initialized |

+---------+---------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------+------------------------------+-----------------+

Options:

Option	Description	Required	Default value	Example
-h, --help	Display help for command.	No	-	-h

cortex engines install

info

This CLI command calls the following API endpoint:

• Init Engine

This command downloads the required dependencies and installs the engine within Cortex. Currently, Cortex supports three engines:

• Llama.cpp
• Onnx
• Tensorrt-llm

Usage:

info

You can use the --verbose flag to display more detailed output of the internal processes. To apply this flag, use the following format: cortex --verbose [subcommand].

MacOs/Linux

# Stable

cortex engines install [options] <engine_name>

# Beta

cortex-beta engines install [options] <engine_name>

# Nightly

cortex-nightly engines install [options] <engine_name>

Windows

# Stable

cortex.exe engines install [options] <engine_name>

# Beta

cortex-beta.exe engines install [options] <engine_name>

# Nightly

cortex-nightly.exe engines install [options] <engine_name>

For Example:

## Llama.cpp engine

cortex engines install llamacpp

## ONNX engine

cortex engines install onnx

## Tensorrt-LLM engine

cortex engines install tensorrt-llm

Options:

Option	Description	Required	Default value	Example
engine_name	The name of the engine you want to install.	Yes	-	-
-h, --help	Display help for command.	No	-	-h

cortex engines uninstall

This command uninstalls the engine within Cortex.

Usage:

info

You can use the --verbose flag to display more detailed output of the internal processes. To apply this flag, use the following format: cortex --verbose [subcommand].
