TensorRT-LLM

NVIDIA's open-source library for optimizing LLM inference with state-of-the-art performance on NVIDIA GPUs.

When to use TensorRT-LLM

Use TensorRT-LLM when:

• Deploying on NVIDIA GPUs (A100, H100, GB200)
• Need maximum throughput (24,000+ tokens/sec on Llama 3)
• Require low latency for real-time applications
• Working with quantized models (FP8, INT4, FP4)
• Scaling across multiple GPUs or nodes

Use vLLM instead when:

• Need simpler setup and Python-first API
• Want PagedAttention without TensorRT compilation
• Working with AMD GPUs or non-NVIDIA hardware
