Large Language Models (Latest)

Hardware

NVIDIA NIMs for large-language models will run on any NVIDIA GPU, as long as the GPU has sufficient memory, or on multiple, homogenous NVIDIA GPUs with sufficient aggregate memory and CUDA compute capability > 7.0 or higher. Some model/GPU combinations are optimized. See the following Supported Models section for further information.

Software

Linux operating systems (Ubuntu 20.04 or later recommended)
NVIDIA Driver >= 535
NVIDIA Docker >= 23.0.1

Supported Models

These models are optimized using TRT-LLM and are available as pre-built, optimized engines on NGC and should use the Chat Completions Endpoint.

Optimized configurations

The GPU Memory and Disk Space values are in GB; Disk Space is for both the container and the model; Profile is for what the model is optimized.
