 Currently, there are a few primary tools that are part of the `ttmlir` project:
 
 - `ttmlir-opt`: The `ttmlir` optimizer driver.  This tool is used to run the `ttmlir` compiler passes on a `.mlir` source files and is central to developing and testing the compiler.
+- `ttmlir-translate`: The `ttmlir` translation tool. This tool can convert from IR to external representation (and inverse). For example, IR in EmitC dialect can be converted into C++ code.
 - `ttrt`: This tool is intended to be a swiss army knife for working with flatbuffers generated by the compiler.  Its primary role is to inspect and run flatbuffer files.
 - [`tt-explorer`](https://github.com/vprajapati-tt/tt-explorer): Visualizer tool for `ttmlir`-powered compiler results. Visualizes from emitted `.mlir` files to display compiled model, attributes, performance results, and provide a platform for human-driven overrides to _gameify_ model tuning.
+- `ttnn-standalone`: This tool is used to run C++ TTNN code outside of the compiler environment.

-## TTNN Standalone
-
-TTNN Standalone is a post-compile tuning tool.
-
-Third party ML models (PyTorch, Jax, ONNX, ...) can be compiled to a set of TTNN library calls in C++. This generated code can then be manually fine-tuned outside of the compiler environment. TTNN Standalone tool offers all the scaffolding needed to run the C++ code on device (build & run scripts).
-
-### Usage
-
-```bash
-# Compile a model to C++ code
-./build/bin/ttmlir-opt --ttir-to-emitc-pipeline test/ttmlir/Silicon/TTNN/emitc/simple_add.mlir | ./build/bin/ttmlir-translate --mlir-to-cpp
-
-# Copy paste the generated function into `ttnn-standalone.cpp`.
-
-# Adapt the `main()` function in `ttnn-standalone.cpp` to feed tensors needed for the model
-
-# Run the following script from within this folder (`tools/ttnn-standalone`) to compile and run the ttnn standalone:
-
-./run
-```
-
-Note: if you receive this error
-```bash
--bash: ./run: Permission denied
-```
-running `chmod +x run` will allow the execution of the script.
-
-## TTNN Dylib
-
-Similarly to the Standalone, this tool offers the ability to compile third party ML models, but to dylibs. Initial intent for compiled dylibs is to be used in testing infrastructure, but sky's the limit :)
