Release Artifacts

This document provides a comprehensive inventory of all Dynamo release artifacts including container images, Python wheels, Helm charts, and Rust crates.

See also: Support Matrix for hardware and platform compatibility | Feature Matrix for backend feature support

Release history in this document begins at v0.6.0.

Current Release: Dynamo v1.2.0

• GitHub Release: v1.2.0
• Docs: v1.2.0
• NGC Collection: ai-dynamo

Experimental: v1.2.0-deepseek-v4-dev.3 (DeepSeek-V4-Flash / V4-Pro on Blackwell, vLLM + SGLang containers only) is available as an experimental preview. Tagged Pre-Releases and experimental builds are listed under Pre-Release Artifacts.

Container Images

Python Wheels

We recommend using the TensorRT-LLM NGC container instead of the ai-dynamo[trtllm] wheel. See the NGC container collection for supported images.

Known Artifact Issues

Release Artifact History

Each bullet is a delta to what ships on NGC / Helm / PyPI / crates.io: net-new crates, removed Helm charts, or image lines that split or appear on the registry. See the inventory tables above for full matrices.

Stable releases first (newest first). Pre-Release Git Tags (v*-dev.*, experimental tracks) are summarized below; per-tag images and wheels are spelled out in Pre-Release Artifacts.

For backend version pins, see the version-pins table above and the GitHub Releases table below.

Stable Releases

• v1.2.0: Minor release (603 PRs from 82 authors since v1.1.1). Backends: SGLang v0.5.11 (NIXL v1.0.1), TRT-LLM v1.3.0rc14 (NIXL v0.10.1), vLLM v0.20.1 (NIXL v0.10.1); UCX v1.20.0. APIs: DGD/DGDR promoted to v1beta1 (migrate from v1alpha1); duration config fields renamed with explicit unit suffixes (e.g. *_ttl → *_ttl_secs). Routing: CRTC is the default approximate KV router; Branch-Sharded KV Indexer. Deploy: Inter-pod GMS sidecar replaces the per-pod pattern; Dynamo Snapshot on CRI-O / OpenShift. Models: DeepSeek-V4 on vLLM; multimodal/diffusion (TRT-LLM text-to-image, SGLang disaggregated video). Note: CUDA 12 container images are discontinued starting v1.3.0.
• v1.1.1: Patch release. Same backend versions as v1.1.0: SGLang v0.5.10.post1 (NIXL v1.0.1), TRT-LLM v1.3.0rc11 (NIXL v0.10.1), vLLM v0.19.0 (NIXL v0.10.1).
• v1.1.0: Images: Split Planner into its own dynamo-planner image on NGC for Profiler jobs and Planner pods; worker and runtime images no longer bundle Planner (artifact boundary change, not a new engine capability). Crates: First 1.y.z publication on crates.io for dynamo-protocols (multi-protocol types; dynamo-async-openai remains deprecated with final release 1.0.2).
• v1.0.2 / v1.0.1: No artifact additions or removals versus v1.0.0.
• v1.0.0: Images: snapshot-agent, EFA variants for vLLM and TRT-LLM (AMD64 only). Crates: First publish of dynamo-mocker, dynamo-kv-router. Helm: Added snapshot (preview); dropped deprecated dynamo-crds from the publish stream (CRDs owned by the Operator).
• v0.9.1: No artifact additions or removals versus v0.9.0.
• v0.9.0: Crates: First publish of dynamo-tokens. Helm: Dropped deprecated dynamo-graph from the publish stream.
• v0.8.0: Images: dynamo-frontend, CUDA 13 variants for vLLM and SGLang. Crates: First publish of dynamo-memory, dynamo-config.

Dynamo Nightlies

• New as of v1.1.0*: ai-dynamo and ai-dynamo-runtime — nightly builds from main publish wheels tagged *.devYYYYMMDD. Install with pip or uv using --pre and the same NVIDIA extra-index pattern as Pre-Release Artifacts.

* *.devYYYYMMDD versioning for nightly main wheels began Apr 24, 2026.

Pre-Release and Experimental Git Tags

Wheels: ai-dynamo, ai-dynamo-runtime, kvbm on pypi.nvidia.com. Crates: on crates.io at 1.3.0-dev.1. Helm: dynamo-platform, snapshot at 1.3.0-dev.1 (see below).

• v1.1.0-dev.3: Images: tensorrtllm-runtime:1.1.0-dev.3. Wheels: ai-dynamo, ai-dynamo-runtime on pypi.nvidia.com (see below).
• v1.1.0-dev.2: Images: sglang-runtime:1.1.0-dev.2, tensorrtllm-runtime:1.1.0-dev.2. Wheels: ai-dynamo, ai-dynamo-runtime on pypi.nvidia.com (see below).
• v1.1.0-dev.1: Images: vLLM, SGLang, TRT-LLM runtime matrix (CUDA 12 / 13 and EFA variants as listed), dynamo-frontend, kubernetes-operator, snapshot-agent. Wheels: ai-dynamo, ai-dynamo-runtime on pypi.nvidia.com. Helm: dynamo-platform, snapshot at 1.1.0-dev.1 (see below).

Helm-Only Patches

• v0.9.0.post1: Republished dynamo-platform Helm chart only (operator image tag correction).

Backend-Only Patch Trains

• v0.8.1.post1 / .post2 / .post3: Republished TRT-LLM runtime image and PyPI wheels only.

crates.io Rust Packages

These crates use repository https://github.com/ai-dynamo/dynamo.git. The table lists each crate’s first non-placeholder publication on crates.io (excluding reservation uploads named 0.0.0-prerelease.0). Dates are from the crates.io registry index.

dynamo-async-openai is deprecated; 1.0.2 is its final crates.io release. Use dynamo-protocols for new dependencies (crate).

dynamo-tokenizers is first published on crates.io at 1.2.0 (the placeholder reservation 0.0.0-prerelease.0 is omitted here like other reservation uploads).

Pre-Release Artifacts

Pre-Release Python Wheels are published on the NVIDIA package index at pypi.nvidia.com, not on the public PyPI index. Like stable wheels, they are Linux (manylinux) builds for the Python versions in the Support Matrix; pip/uv on macOS or Windows will not find matching wheels. Install on a supported Linux host or inside a Linux container.

Install by adding that URL as an extra index and allowing pre-releases (PEP 440 dev versions):

$
# uv (recommended in other Dynamo docs)
$
uv pip install --pre --extra-index-url https://pypi.nvidia.com/ ai-dynamo==1.1.0.dev2
$
$
# pip
$
pip install --pre --extra-index-url https://pypi.nvidia.com ai-dynamo==1.1.0.dev2

A GitHub or container tag v1.1.0-dev.N maps to a wheel version 1.1.0.devN (for example v1.1.0-dev.2 → ==1.1.0.dev2). Optional extras such as ai-dynamo[vllm] use the same flags; pin the version you want from the sections below.

v1.3.0-dev.1

• Branch: release/1.3.0-dev.1
• GitHub Tag: v1.3.0-dev.1 (tag publication pending)
• Backends: SGLang 0.5.12.post1 | TensorRT-LLM 1.3.0rc17 | vLLM 0.22.0 | NIXL 1.1.0 (vLLM); 1.0.1 (SGLang); 0.10.1 (TRT-LLM)
• Coverage: Full-platform preview of v1.3.0 — all runtime containers (vLLM and SGLang on CUDA 12 + 13 + EFA, TensorRT-LLM on CUDA 13 + EFA) and component containers, plus ai-dynamo / ai-dynamo-runtime / kvbm wheels, Rust crates, and the dynamo-platform and snapshot Helm charts. Cut from main after the TensorRT-LLM v1.3.0rc17 upgrade; experimental snapshot, not QA-gated.
