+### Model Loader
+
+A `ModelLoader` is an object which can load a model from a description. The description is a JSON object which contains the model type, assets, and other parameters. The loader is a factory for models.

 ### Model
 
 A `Model`, in API terms, is an object which represents an AI model (weights, parameters) loaded into memory. Once created, a model is immutable and *does* nothing on its own, but is the means to create an...
 
 ### Instance
 
-The `Instance` is an object associated with a `Model` which can do inference based on the parameters it's created with. The instance holds a private state of its own which is not shared with other instances (what *is* shared is the model). The instance state is not immutable and can change with each subsequent inference operation.

 ### Instance Operation
 
 ... or `op` for short, is a function (method) which can be called on an instance to perform inference and return a result. Ops may change the internal instance state.

 The base implementation is in C++, but wrappers for other languages are provided. Find the documentation [here](lapi.md).
 
 And with it we can have actual working code like:
