TensorRT-LLM Deployment
Note
Please read the TensorRT-LLM checkpoint workflow first before going through this section.
ModelOpt toolkit supports automatic conversion of ModelOpt exported LLM to the TensorRT-LLM checkpoint and the engines for accelerated inferencing.
This conversion is achieved by:
Converting Huggingface, NeMo and ModelOpt exported checkpoints to the TensorRT-LLM checkpoint.
Building TensorRT-LLM engine from the TensorRT-LLM checkpoint.
Export Quantized Model
After the model is quantized, the quantized model can be exported to the TensorRT-LLM checkpoint format stored as
A single JSON file recording the model structure and metadata (config.json)
A group of safetensors files, each recording the local calibrated model on a single GPU rank (model weights, scaling factors per GPU).
The export API (export_tensorrt_llm_checkpoint) can be used as follows:
from modelopt.torch.export import export_tensorrt_llm_checkpoint
with torch.inference_mode():
export_tensorrt_llm_checkpoint(
model, # The quantized model.
decoder_type, # The type of the model as str, e.g gpt, gptj, llama.
dtype, # the weights data type to export the unquantized layers.
export_dir, # The directory where the exported files will be stored.
inference_tensor_parallel, # The number of GPUs used in the inference time for tensor parallelism.
inference_pipeline_parallel, # The number of GPUs used in the inference time for pipeline parallelism.
)
If the export_tensorrt_llm_checkpoint call is successful, the TensorRT-LLM checkpoint will be saved. Otherwise, e.g. the decoder_type is not supported, a torch state_dict checkpoint will be saved instead.

Convert to TensorRT-LLM
Once the TensorRT-LLM checkpoint is available, please follow the TensorRT-LLM build API to build and deploy the quantized LLM.
