# 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](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/data-center/products/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](https://github.com/triton-inference-server/backend#where-can-i-find-all-the-backends-that-are-available-for-triton)
- [Supports multiple machine learning
  frameworks](https://github.com/triton-inference-server/fil_backend)
- [Concurrent model
  execution](docs/user_guide/architecture.md#concurrent-model-execution)
- [Dynamic batching](docs/user_guide/batcher.md#dynamic-batcher)
- [Sequence batching](docs/user_guide/batcher.md#sequence-batcher) and
  [implicit state management](docs/user_guide/architecture.md#implicit-state-management)
  for stateful models
- Provides [Backend API](https://github.com/triton-inference-server/backend) that
  allows adding custom backends and pre/post processing operations
- Supports writing custom backends in python, a.k.a.
  [Python-based backends.](https://github.com/triton-inference-server/backend/blob/main/docs/python_based_backends.md#python-based-backends)
- Model pipelines using
  [Ensembling](docs/user_guide/architecture.md#ensemble-models) or [Business
  Logic Scripting
  (BLS)](https://github.com/triton-inference-server/python_backend#business-logic-scripting)
- [HTTP/REST and GRPC inference
  protocols](docs/customization_guide/inference_protocols.md) based on the community
  developed [KServe
  protocol](https://github.com/kserve/kserve/tree/master/docs/predict-api/v2)
- A [C API](docs/customization_guide/inprocess_c_api.md) and
  [Java API](docs/customization_guide/inprocess_java_api.md)
  allow Triton to link directly into your application for edge and other in-process use cases
- [Metrics](docs/user_guide/metrics.md) indicating GPU utilization, server
  throughput, server latency, and more

## Serve a Model in 3 Easy Steps

```bash
# Step 1: Create the example model repository
git clone -b r26.06 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:26.06-py3 tritonserver --model-repository=/models --model-control-mode explicit --load-model densenet_onnx

# Step 3: Sending an Inference Request
# In a separate console, launch t
