TensorRT-LLM contains components to create Python and C++ runtimes that execute those TensorRT engines. It also includes a [backend](https://github.com/triton-inference-server/tensorrtllm_backend) for integration with the [NVIDIA Triton Inference Server](https://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-triton-inference-server); a production-quality system to serve LLMs. Models built with TensorRT-LLM can be executed on a wide range of configurations going from a single GPU to multiple nodes with multiple GPUs (using [Tensor Parallelism](https://docs.nvidia.com/deeplearning/nemo/user-guide/docs/en/stable/nlp/nemo_megatron/parallelisms.html#tensor-parallelism) and/or [Pipeline Parallelism](https://docs.nvidia.com/deeplearning/nemo/user-guide/docs/en/stable/nlp/nemo_megatron/parallelisms.html#pipeline-parallelism)). The TensorRT-LLM Python API architecture looks similar to the [PyTorch](https://pytorch.org) API. It provides a [functional](./tensorrt_llm/functional.py) module containing functions like `einsum`, `softmax`, `matmul` or `view`. The [layers](./tensorrt_llm/layers) module bundles useful building blocks to assemble LLMs; like an `Attention` block, a `MLP` or the entire `Transformer` layer. Model-specific components, like `GPTAttention` or `BertAttention`, can be found in the [models](./tensorrt_llm/models) module. TensorRT-LLM comes with several popular models pre-defined. They can easily be modified and extended to fit custom needs. Refer to the [Support Matrix](https://nvidia.github.io/TensorRT-LLM/reference/support-matrix.html) for a list of supported models. To maximize performance and reduce memory footprint, TensorRT-LLM allows the models to be executed using different quantization modes (refer to [`support matrix`](https://nvidia.github.io/TensorRT-LLM/reference/support-matrix.html#software)). TensorRT-LLM supports INT4 or INT8 weights (and FP16 activations; a.k.a. INT4/INT8 weight-only) as well as a complete implementation of the [SmoothQuant](https://arxiv.org/abs/2211.10438) technique. ## Getting Started To get started with TensorRT-LLM, visit our documentation: - [Quick Start Guide](https://nvidia.github.io/TensorRT-LLM/quick-start-guide.html) - [Release Notes](https://nvidia.github.io/TensorRT-LLM/release-notes.html) - [Installation Guide for Linux](https://nvidia.github.io/TensorRT-LLM/installation/linux.html) - [Installation Guide for Windows](https://nvidia.github.io/TensorRT-LLM/installation/windows.html) - [Supported Hardware, Models, and other Software](https://nvidia.github.io/TensorRT-LLM/reference/support-matrix.html) ## Community - [Model zoo](https://huggingface.co/TheFloat16) (generated by TRT-LLM rel 0.9 a9356d4b7610330e89c1010f342a9ac644215c52)
