What problem does it solve?

TensorRT-LLM solves the performance bottleneck of slow LLM inference by optimizing model execution to achieve higher throughput and lower latency on NVIDIA hardware.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • In-flight batching and efficient KV cache: Improves utilization and supports higher request concurrency during generation (useful for chat workloads and mixed prompt lengths).
  • Low-precision quantization (FP8/INT4/FP4): Reduces memory footprint while accelerating inference for production-scale serving.
  • Production-ready serving: Runs an OpenAI-compatible server endpoint with optimized scheduling, metrics, and health checks (useful for deploying Llama/Qwen/DeepSeek-class models behind an API).

Quick Start

Run the TensorRT-LLM server for your model with tensor parallelism and FP8 enabled for maximum throughput on NVIDIA GPUs by executing: start trtllm-serve <model> --tp_size <num_gpus> --dtype fp8 --max_batch_size <batch>.

FAQPage Schema
How do I speed up LLM inference on NVIDIA GPUs for production serving?

Speed up LLM inference on NVIDIA GPUs by applying TensorRT-LLM optimizations like in-flight batching and FP8 or INT4 quantization to significantly increase throughput and reduce latency during model execution.

How does in-flight batching improve LLM request concurrency?

In-flight batching improves LLM request concurrency by dynamically scheduling generation tokens with efficient KV cache management, which increases GPU utilization and supports mixed prompt lengths in chat workloads.

Can I deploy an OpenAI-compatible API endpoint for Llama models using TensorRT-LLM?

Yes, you can deploy an OpenAI-compatible API endpoint for Llama models using the TensorRT-LLM server, which provides optimized scheduling, health checks, and metrics for production-scale serving.

Do I need a specific NVIDIA software stack to use FP8 quantization with TensorRT-LLM?

Yes, FP8 quantization requires compatible NVIDIA GPU software stacks to execute the optimized low-precision models and achieve the reduced memory footprint and accelerated inference speeds.

What is the best way to start serving a multi-GPU LLM with tensor parallelism?

The best way to start serving a multi-GPU LLM is executing the trtllm-serve command with tensor parallelism, specifying your model, GPU count, data type like FP8, and maximum batch size.

Why use INT4 or FP8 quantization for LLM inference?

Use INT4 or FP8 quantization for LLM inference to reduce the model memory footprint and accelerate generation speeds during production-scale serving without heavily compromising execution efficiency.
