HTM Engine refers specifically to tools at https://github.com/numenta/numenta-apps/tree/master/htmengine. It allows you to run a bunch of models at once and scale upwards more easily. It does not refer to the Network API, which is much further down in the stack. --------- Matt Taylor OS Community Flag-Bearer Numenta
