I’ve update Jetpack to 7.1 and followed the official **TensorRT Edge-LLM quick start guide** to convert and run the Qwen3-0.6B model on Jetson Thor with the standalone C++ runtime (using engine files). I want to **serve the same TensorRT-LLM engines using NVIDIA Triton Inference Server** and measure the _inference speed_ to compare against a vLLM docker image setup.

So far I understand:

1. I can **export ONNX and build TensorRT engines** on Jetson Thor using the TensorRT-Edge-LLM repo and tools.

2. But I’m unsure how to prepare a **Triton model repository + config** for those engines and run Triton server with the TensorRT-LLM backend.

**Questions:**

1. Is there a recommended workflow/tutorial for using **Triton Inference Server + TensorRT-LLM backend** for my engine files?

2. Any example of model repository structure + `config.pbtxt` for Qwen or similar models?

3. How to benchmark / measure inference speed properly (e.g., throughput, latency) between Triton serving and a standalone vLLM container?

Hi,

We need to check with the internal team.  
Will get back to you soon.

Thanks.

Hi,

Currently, Triton Inference Server doesn’t TensorRT Edge LLM.  
But supporting a serving solution is on our roadmap.

Do you consider Dynamo or Open AI compliant API?  
If not, are there any restrictions?

Thanks.

I found that DGX\_Spark can use the tutorial to run openwebui to support tensorrtllm.And luckily I have one for test（I‘ve tried last week and found it available.[TRT LLM for Inference | DGX Spark](https://build.nvidia.com/spark/trt-llm/open-webui-instructions)）.Can thor also use “trtserve” command to run tensorrt-model on Open AI compliant API?Btw,how can I test the speed on it?I need the help of this.Thank you!

Hi,

It’s not officially supported currently.  
You can benchmark with the \* llm\_inference\* binary:

Thanks.

Thank you for your prompt reply. I will try the approach you mentioned as soon as possible.  
In addition, I look forward to seeing more practical and interesting application tutorials for Jetson Thor in the near future or over the coming months, which could be demonstrated to users for hands-on practice.  
Thanks again.
