TensorRT-LLM is an inference framework specifically tied to Nvidia GPUs for compilation and serving optimization, distinct from CPU-oriented alternatives like llama.cpp

Summary

Choosing TensorRT-LLM means committing to Nvidia GPUs as the only hardware that can run it, since its compilation and serving optimizations are built specifically around that architecture. This creates a practical trade-off: you get the speed benefits of dedicated GPU acceleration, but you lose the hardware flexibility that CPU-oriented tools like llama.cpp offer.
