NVIDIA Releases TensorRT Model Connect in Public Preview: Hugging Face Checkpoint to Native C++ Inference in Two Commands

NVIDIA has released TensorRT Model Connect (TRTMC) in public preview, an Apache-2. 0 project that takes a supported Hugging Face or local checkpoint to end-to-end TensorRT inference in two commands, with no intermediate ONNX export. The build emits a versioned .

bundle artifact that runs through native C++ task APIs, so inference executes without PyTorch in the runtime path. NVIDIA's July 29, 2026 GB300 snapshot covers 105 release profiles across 76 model families.
