TensorRT-LLM

Inference engines Advanced Open source Free

NVIDIA's library for extracting peak inference performance from NVIDIA GPUs. It compiles optimised engines for a model and hardware pairing, delivering the best throughput and latency available on supported cards, at the cost of setup complexity.

Strengths

  • Peak throughput and latency on NVIDIA GPUs
  • Production-grade optimisations, including quantisation and in-flight batching
  • Integrates with NVIDIA Triton for multi-model serving

Weaknesses

  • NVIDIA hardware only
  • Complex to set up, with a model compilation step for each configuration
  • Overkill outside production or performance-critical deployments
