SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes the trial-and-error of finding a good starting configuration for trtllm-serve by grounding the output YAML in the repository’s checked-in TensorRT-LLM configs and deployment guidance.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Source-backed config generation: Produces a starting trtllm-serve --config YAML by matching the user’s model + serving constraints to checked-in configs, avoiding speculative and out-of-scope modes by default.
  • Objective-preserving selection: Keeps the user’s latency/throughput intent (e.g., Min Latency, Balanced, Max Throughput) by selecting configs using database profile labels when available.
  • Guardrailed adjustments: Updates only scenario-dependent fields (like batch/token/seq limits and KV-cache settings) after reading the relevant model deployment docs, and flags any inferred/interpolated fields as unverified.

Quick Start

Ask for a non-speculative, single-node PyTorch aggregate in-flight-batching serve YAML for your model and GPU with your target concurrency and input/output lengths, specifying whether you want Min Latency, Balanced, or Max Throughput.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a trtllm-serve YAML config for single-node PyTorch deployment?

You can generate a trtllm-serve YAML config by providing your model, GPU, target concurrency, input/output lengths, and a latency/throughput objective. The config is grounded in repository-checked profiles for single-node PyTorch serving.

What is the best way to tune latency and throughput for TensorRT-LLM serving?

Tuning latency and throughput involves selecting an objective like Min Latency, Balanced, or Max Throughput. The tool matches this intent to checked-in database profile labels and adjusts scenario-dependent fields like KV-cache settings accordingly.

Does trtllm-serve config generation support speculative decoding modes?

Speculative decoding modes are strictly excluded by default. The tool focuses on non-speculative, single-node aggregate in-flight-batching configs, with DeepSeek-R1 MTP serving as the standard checked-in mode.

Can I use legacy engine-build tuning values for my trtllm-serve YAML config?

You cannot use legacy engine-build tuning values. The tool generates a source-backed starting YAML by applying doc-informed adjustments to scenario-dependent fields like batch, token, sequence limits, and KV-cache settings.

What are the limitations when generating a TRT-LLM serve configuration?

Limitations include applicability only to single-node, non-disaggregated deployments and strict speculative exclusion rules. It also requires exact or near matches from the configs database to generate a valid YAML.
