Cortex is the open-source brain for robots: vision, speech, language, tabular, and action -- the cloud is optional.

### Download Models
You can download models from the huggingface model hub using the `cortex pull` command:
```bash
cortex pull llama3.2
```
```
Downloaded models:
llama3.1:8b-gguf-q4-km
llama3.2:3b-gguf-q2-k

>
```
You can also run it in detached mode, meaning, you can run it in the background and can
use the model via the API:
```sh
cortex run -d llama3.2:3b-gguf-q2-k
```
### Manage resources
```sh
cortex ps # View active models
```
```sh
cortex stop # Shutdown server
```
