1. NVIDIA Releases TensorRT Model Connect for Two-Command Open Model Deployment

NVIDIA. NVIDIA introduced TensorRT Model Connect, an open-source collection of reference implementations that lets developers deploy supported open models with TensorRT in native C++ applications. The workflow splits into two phases: building an optimized model bundle from a Hugging Face model ID in Python, then loading and running that bundle in C++ without PyTorch or Python at runtime. NVIDIA said the project supports more than 80 model families and ships nightly releases to keep pace with the open model ecosystem, aiming to remove deployment bottlenecks such as conversion failures and operator compatibility issues.
