@@ -6,31 +6,27 @@ OpenCV 5 introduces a selectable inference backend for the DNN module, referred
 
 The engine is specified at model-load time and cannot be changed after the model has been loaded, as each engine uses a different internal graph representation.
 
-### ENGINE_NEW
-
-`ENGINE_NEW` is a ground-up rewrite of the DNN inference graph, introduced in OpenCV 5. It is built around a typed operation graph with shape inference, constant folding, and operator fusion, covering approximately 75-80% of the ONNX operator specification. Models that failed to load under OpenCV 4.x due to dynamic shapes or unsupported operators will typically load and run correctly under this engine.
-
-The engine performs automatic attention fusion: the `MatMul` → `Softmax` → `MatMul` subgraph common to transformer architectures is recognised and collapsed into a single fused operation at load time, with no changes required to the model or calling code.
-
-`ENGINE_NEW` also introduces native support for Large Language Models and Vision-Language Models. Built-in tokenizers, attention layers, decoding blocks, and KV-caching allow models such as Qwen, Gemma, and PaliGemma to run end-to-end through the standard `Net` API, with no external runtime required.
-
-In OpenCV 5.0, `ENGINE_NEW` runs on CPU only. Support for CUDA and other non-CPU backends is planned for a subsequent release. Users requiring GPU acceleration should use `ENGINE_CLASSIC` or `ENGINE_ORT`.
-
-### ENGINE_CLASSIC
-
-`ENGINE_CLASSIC` is the inference engine carried over from OpenCV 4.x. It supports the full set of DNN backends and hardware targets, including `DNN_BACKEND_CUDA` for NVIDIA GPUs, `DNN_BACKEND_OPENVINO` for Intel hardware, and FP16 inference targets. Its ONNX operator coverage is approximately 22% of the specification. Models with dynamic shapes or transformer-style subgraphs will generally not load under this engine.
-
-@note The Darknet and Caffe parsers have been removed in OpenCV 5; ONNX is the recommended format for all engines. TFLite models are still supported and currently executed via `ENGINE_CLASSIC`.
-
 ### ENGINE_AUTO
 
-`ENGINE_AUTO` is the default value for the engine parameter on all `readNet*()` functions. When active, OpenCV first attempts to load the model with `ENGINE_NEW`. If the model cannot be loaded - for example, because it uses an operator not yet implemented in the new engine - the load is automatically retried with `ENGINE_CLASSIC`.
+`ENGINE_AUTO` is the default value for the engine parameter on all `readNet*()` functions. It lets OpenCV pick the engine: it currently resolves to `ENGINE_OPENCV`. The resolution is intentionally an implementation detail and may change as more engines are added, so code that does not need a specific engine should leave the default in place.
 
 Because `ENGINE_AUTO` is the default, existing code that does not pass an engine argument requires no modification.
 
+### ENGINE_OPENCV
+
+`ENGINE_OPENCV` is OpenCV's built-in DNN engine, a ground-up rewrite of the inference graph introduced in OpenCV 5. It is built around a typed operation graph with shape inference, constant folding, and operator fusion, covering approximately 75-80% of the ONNX operator specification. Models that failed to load under OpenCV 4.x due to dynamic shapes or unsupported operators will typically load and run correctly under this engine.
+
+The engine performs automatic attention fusion: the `MatMul` → `Softmax` → `MatMul` subgraph common to transformer architectures is recognised and collapsed into a single fused operation at load time, with no changes required to the model or calling code.
+
+`ENGINE_OPENCV` also introduces native support for Large Language Models and Vision-Language Models. Built-in tokenizers, attention layers, decoding blocks, and KV-caching allow models such as Qwen, Gemma, and PaliGemma to run end-to-end through the standard `Net` API, with no external runtime required.
+
+In OpenCV 5.0, `ENGINE_OPENCV` runs on CPU only. Support for CUDA and other non-CPU backends is planned for a subsequent release. Users requiring GPU acceleration should use `ENGINE_ORT`.
+
+@note The Darknet and Caffe parsers have been removed in OpenCV 5; ONNX is the recommended format. TFLite and TensorFlow models are still supported and are executed via `ENGINE_OPENCV`.
+
 ### ENGINE_ORT
 
-`ENGINE_ORT` routes inference through a bundled ONNX Runtime (ORT) wrapper. OpenCV uses its own ONNX parser to construct the ORT graph internally, so only the ORT library is required at runtime, not the standalone onnx package.

 ### Engine Selection via Environment Variable
 
-The engine can be overridden at the process level using the `OPENCV_FORCE_DNN_ENGINE` environment variable. The integer values correspond directly to the `EngineType` enum: 1 for `ENGINE_CLASSIC`, 2 for `ENGINE_NEW`, 3 for `ENGINE_AUTO`, and 4 for `ENGINE_ORT`.
+The engine can be overridden at the process level using the `OPENCV_FORCE_DNN_ENGINE` environment variable. The integer values correspond directly to the `EngineType` enum: 0 for `ENGINE_AUTO`, 1 for `ENGINE_OPENCV`, and 2 for `ENGINE_ORT`. Leaving the variable unset (or set to `ENGINE_AUTO`) does not force any engine, so the value passed to `readNet*()` is honored.
