-#### Nitro
+### Cortex.cpp
+Jan is powered by **Cortex.cpp**. It is a C++ command-line interface (CLI) designed as an alternative to [Ollama](https://ollama.com/). By default, it runs on the llama.cpp engine but also supports other engines, including ONNX and TensorRT-LLM, making it a multi-engine platform.
 
-Nitro is a high-efficiency C++ inference engine for edge computing. It is lightweight and embeddable, and can be used on its own within your own projects.

-## Troubleshooting
-
-As Jan is in development mode, you might get stuck on a broken build.
-
-To reset your installation:
-
-1. Use the following commands to remove any dangling backend processes:
-
-   ```sh
-   ps aux | grep nitro
-   ```
-
-   Look for processes like "nitro" and "nitro_arm_64," and kill them one by one with:
-
-   ```sh
-   kill -9 <PID>
-   ```
-
-2. **Remove Jan from your Applications folder and Cache folder**
-
-   ```bash
-   make clean
-   ```
-
-   This will remove all build artifacts and cached files:
-
-   - Delete Jan extension from your `~/jan/extensions` folder
-   - Delete all `node_modules` in current folder
-   - Clear Application cache in `~/Library/Caches/jan`
