🤖

Cortex is built in public:
Website: https://cortex.so
Repo: https://github.com/menloresearch/jan
Project Board: Github Project

Cortex turns any computer into a thinking machine.

  • Simplifies running of models
  • Replaces the OpenAI API with a local API
  • Runs on wide variety of hardware (from Raspberry Pis to servers)

Cortex powers Jan’s local AI capabilities, and runs quietly in the background.

Model Hub

Cortex has a Model Library, where we have pre-compiled and optimized models.

Roadmap

Our current roadmap is fully public on GitHub.

  • Support vLLM and continuous batching
  • Support Vision, speech, language models
  • Support additional hardware types
  • Scale from single-node edge devices, to multi-GPU datacenter environments
  • Tools for managing Cortex deployments

Open-Source

Cortex builds on llama.cpp, vLLM and other open source projects.

We have hired from the llama.cpp contributor communities, to allow open-source developers to focus on this full-time.
