Supported Models#

Supported checkpoint IDs are listed below. See the support matrix for platform coverage and the examples for workflows.

Support Policy#

TensorRT Edge-LLM supports the checkpoint IDs listed below. Dense LLM families include official dense checkpoints below 30B parameters. Larger dense checkpoints and non-dense variants require case-by-case validation. MoE, multimodal, audio, TTS, omni, EAGLE3, DFlash, and JetSpec support is limited to the listed rows.

The model coverage list is not comprehensive, and not every listed checkpoint has been fully verified on every supported platform and precision. If a listed model does not export, build, or run correctly, please report an issue with the checkpoint ID, precision, platform, and command line used.

The model class names were checked against the upstream Transformers model source tree. Checkpoint IDs are linked to their Hugging Face pages and grouped into original checkpoints and quantized checkpoints.

Precision Notes#

  • Dense precision set: FP16/BF16 checkpoints, ModelOpt FP8/MXFP8/FP4/NVFP4/INT4 AWQ/INT8 SmoothQuant checkpoints, and INT4 GPTQ checkpoints. INT8 GPTQ is not supported.

  • Jetson Orin supports FP16, INT8, and INT4 runtime precision in the supported JetPack configurations. Do not select FP8, MXFP8, FP4, or NVFP4 checkpoints for Orin.

  • For INT4 engine builds on Jetson Orin devices with less system memory, such as Jetson Orin Nano, pass --externalize-weights int4_ffn for dense checkpoints or --externalize-weights int4_ffn int4_moe for MoE checkpoints to reduce engine build memory.

  • For FP16/BF16 source checkpoints, use the Quantization script to create a unified quantized checkpoint for tensorrt_edgellm, then export the generated checkpoint.

  • FP8 KV cache is detected automatically from checkpoint metadata by tensorrt_edgellm.

  • tensorrt-edgellm-export exports visual encoders. Use tensorrt-edgellm-quantize llm --visual_quantization fp8 before export when FP8 visual weights are required.

  • MXFP8 and FP4/NVFP4 require Blackwell-class hardware for runtime execution.

  • For platform-specific NVFP4 MoE layouts, follow Export NVFP4 MoE for SM12x before building the engine.

JetSpec Draft Models#

JetSpec draft checkpoints are detected by jetspec_config in config.json and exported with DFlashDraftModel using causal proposal attention. The validated runtime path is branching tree verification: export the base with --jetspec-tree-base --jetspec-draft-dir <draft_checkpoint>, export the draft with --jetspec-draft --jetspec-draft-dir <draft_checkpoint>, and run with --specDraftTopK > 1. --jetspecBlockSize and --dflashBlockSize configure the same cached-draft proposal block size; the JetSpec spelling is provided for clarity in JetSpec command lines.

For the listed Qwen3 pair, disable thinking mode in the input JSON when evaluating accuracy, acceptance rate, or throughput.
