+# Generate eager operator execution entrypoints
+
+## Introduction
+
+The generate_api.py script will generate an extended reference model API with eager operator execution entrypoints.
+The following files will be generated: include/operators.h and src/operators.cc
+
+## Requirements
+
+* Python 3.6 or later
+* Jinja2 (install with ```pip install Jinja2```)
+
+## Running from the command line
+
+The script can be run from the scripts/operator-api directory as follows:
+
+```bash
+python generate_api.py
+```
