Decision brief
Triton Inference Server simplifies AI deployment, supporting diverse frameworks across cloud and edge devices with performance optimizations.
Good fit when
- When deploying models requiring NVIDIA GPU optimizations for real-time or batched workloads across various environments
- For leveraging a comprehensive backend API to customize inference pipelines in Python
Avoid when
- If seeking a solution not tied specifically to NVIDIA GPUs and related ecosystem tools
- In scenarios where a non-GPU supported, lightweight serving framework is preferred

Triton Inference Server
Triton Inference Server is an open source inference serving software that streamlines AI inferencing. Triton enables teams to deploy any AI model from multiple deep learning and machine learning frameworks, including TensorRT, PyTorch, ONNX, OpenVINO, Python, RAPIDS FIL, and more. Triton Inference Server supports inference across cloud, data center, edge and embedded devices on NVIDIA GPUs, x86 and ARM CPU, or AWS Inferentia. Triton Inference Server delivers optimized performance for many query types, including real time, batched, ensembles and audio/video streaming. Triton inference Server is part of NVIDIA AI Enterprise, a software platform that accelerates the data science pipeline and streamlines the development and deployment of production AI.
Major features include:
- Supports multiple deep learning frameworks
- Supports multiple machine learning frameworks
- Concurrent model execution
- Dynamic batching
- Sequence batching and implicit state management for stateful models
- Provides Backend API that allows adding custom backends and pre/post processing operations
- Supports writing custom backends in python, a.k.a. Python-based backends.
- Model pipelines using Ensembling or Business Logic Scripting (BLS)
- HTTP/REST and GRPC inference protocols based on the community developed KServe protocol
- A C API and Java API allow Triton to link directly into your application for edge and other in-process use cases
- Metrics indicating GPU utilization, server throughput, server latency, and more

Serve a Model in 3 Easy Steps
# Step 1: Create the example model repository
git clone -b r26.07 https://github.com/triton-inference-server/server.git
cd server/docs/examples
./fetch_models.sh
# Step 2: Launch triton from the NGC Triton container
docker run --gpus=1 --rm --net=host -v ${PWD}/model_repository:/models nvcr.io/nvidia/tritonserver:26.07-py3 tritonserver --model-repository=/models --model-control-mode explicit --load-model densenet_onnx
