TensorRT-LLM 0.15.0 Release
Hi,
We are very pleased to announce the 0.15.0 version of TensorRT-LLM. This update includes:
Key Features and Enhancements
- Added support for EAGLE. Refer to
examples/eagle/README.md
. - Added functional support for GH200 systems.
- Added AutoQ (mixed precision) support.
- Added a
trtllm-serve
command to start a FastAPI based server. - Added FP8 support for Nemotron NAS 51B. Refer to
examples/nemotron_nas/README.md
. - Added INT8 support for GPTQ quantization.
- Added TensorRT native support for INT8 Smooth Quantization.
- Added quantization support for Exaone model. Refer to
examples/exaone/README.md
. - Enabled Medusa for Qwen2 models. Refer to “Medusa with Qwen2” section in
examples/medusa/README.md
. - Optimized pipeline parallelism with ReduceScatter and AllGather for Mixtral models.
- Added support for
Qwen2ForSequenceClassification
model architecture. - Added Python plugin support to simplify plugin development efforts. Refer to
examples/python_plugin/README.md
. - Added different rank dimensions support for LoRA modules when using the Hugging Face format. Thanks for the contribution from @AlessioNetti in #2366.
- Enabled embedding sharing by default. Refer to "Embedding Parallelism, Embedding Sharing, and Look-Up Plugin" section in
docs/source/performance/perf-best-practices.md
for information about the required conditions for embedding sharing. - Added support for per-token per-channel FP8 (namely row-wise FP8) on Ada.
- Extended the maximum supported
beam_width
to256
. - Added FP8 and INT8 SmoothQuant quantization support for the InternVL2-4B variant (LLM model only). Refer to
examples/multimodal/README.md
. - Added support for prompt-lookup speculative decoding. Refer to
examples/prompt_lookup/README.md
. - Integrated the QServe w4a8 per-group/per-channel quantization. Refer to “w4aINT8 quantization (QServe)” section in
examples/llama/README.md
. - Added a C++ example for fast logits using the
executor
API. Refer to “executorExampleFastLogits” section inexamples/cpp/executor/README.md
. - [BREAKING CHANGE] NVIDIA Volta GPU support is removed in this and future releases.
- Added the following enhancements to the LLM API:
- [BREAKING CHANGE] Moved the runtime initialization from the first invocation of
LLM.generate
toLLM.__init__
for better generation performance without warmup. - Added
n
andbest_of
arguments to theSamplingParams
class. These arguments enable returning multiple generations for a single request. - Added
ignore_eos
,detokenize
,skip_special_tokens
,spaces_between_special_tokens
, andtruncate_prompt_tokens
arguments to theSamplingParams
class. These arguments enable more control over the tokenizer behavior. - Added support for incremental detokenization to improve the detokenization performance for streaming generation.
- Added the
enable_prompt_adapter
argument to theLLM
class and theprompt_adapter_request
argument for theLLM.generate
method. These arguments enable prompt tuning.
- [BREAKING CHANGE] Moved the runtime initialization from the first invocation of
- Added support for a
gpt_variant
argument to theexamples/gpt/convert_checkpoint.py
file. This enhancement enables checkpoint conversion with more GPT model variants. Thanks to the contribution from @tonylek in #2352.
API Changes
- [BREAKING CHANGE] Moved the flag
builder_force_num_profiles
intrtllm-build
command to theBUILDER_FORCE_NUM_PROFILES
environment variable. - [BREAKING CHANGE] Modified defaults for
BuildConfig
class so that they are aligned with thetrtllm-build
command. - [BREAKING CHANGE] Removed Python bindings of
GptManager
. - [BREAKING CHANGE]
auto
is used as the default value for--dtype
option in quantize and checkpoints conversion scripts. - [BREAKING CHANGE] Deprecated
gptManager
API path ingptManagerBenchmark
. - [BREAKING CHANGE] Deprecated the
beam_width
andnum_return_sequences
arguments to theSamplingParams
class in the LLM API. Use then
,best_of
anduse_beam_search
arguments instead. - Exposed
--trust_remote_code
argument to the OpenAI API server. (#2357)
Model Updates
- Added support for Llama 3.2 and llama 3.2-Vision model. Refer to
examples/mllama/README.md
for more details on the llama 3.2-Vision model. - Added support for Deepseek-v2. Refer to
examples/deepseek_v2/README.md
. - Added support for Cohere Command R models. Refer to
examples/commandr/README.md
. - Added support for Falcon 2, refer to
examples/falcon/README.md
, thanks to the contribution from @puneeshkhanna in #1926. - Added support for InternVL2. Refer to
examples/multimodal/README.md
. - Added support for Qwen2-0.5B and Qwen2.5-1.5B model. (#2388)
- Added support for Minitron. Refer to
examples/nemotron
. - Added a GPT Variant - Granite(20B and 34B). Refer to “GPT Variant - Granite” section in
examples/gpt/README.md
. - Added support for LLaVA-OneVision model. Refer to “LLaVA, LLaVa-NeXT, LLaVA-OneVision and VILA” section in
examples/multimodal/README.md
.
