What Is TensorRT?

The core of NVIDIA TensorRT is a C++ library that facilitates high-performance inference on NVIDIA graphics processing units (GPUs). TensorRT takes a trained network, which consists of a network definition and a set of trained parameters, and produces a highly optimized runtime engine that performs inference for that network.

What Is TensorRT Production Branch 6?

The TensorRT Production Branch, exclusively available with NVIDIA AI Enterprise, is a 9-month supported, API-stable branch that includes monthly fixes for high and critical software vulnerabilities. This branch provides a stable and secure environment for building your mission-critical AI applications. The TensorRT production branch releases every six months with a three-month overlap in between two releases.

Getting started with TensorRT Production Branch

Before you start, ensure that your environment is set up by following one of the deployment guides available in the NVIDIA AI Enterprise Documentation.
For an overview of the features included in the TensorRT Production Branch May 2026, please refer to the Release Notes for TensorRT 26.03.
For TensorRT Developer and Installation Guides, see the TensorRT Product Documentation website.
Additionally, if you're looking for information on Docker containers and guidance on running a container, review the Containers For Deep Learning Frameworks User Guide.

Government Ready: STIG/FIPS Hardening

This ensures the highest level of security and compliance for regulated environments, the x86 container image for this branch is:

• STIG Ubuntu 24.04 hardened

• Supports FIPS 140-2 / 3 validated crypto / uses libraries that support FIPS crypto

Learn more about NVIDIA's hardened image in the AI Software for Regulated Environments White Paper.

Compatible Infrastructure Software Versions

For the optimized performance, it is highly recommended to deploy the supported NVIDIA AI Enterprise Infrastructure software in conjunction with your AI software. Production Branch 6 is compatible with NVIDIA AI Enterprise Infrastructure 7.

Security Vulnerabilities in Open Source Packages

Please review the Security Scanning tab to view the latest security scan results.
For certain open-source vulnerabilities listed in the scan results, NVIDIA provides a response in the form of a Vulnerability Exploitability eXchange (VEX) document. The VEX information can be reviewed and downloaded from the Security Scanning tab.
