Learning: TensorRT-LLM container release tags in documentation should only reference published NGC container images. The README badge version may be ahead of the actual published container versions.

Learning: The TensorRT-LLM project requires Python 3.10+ as evidenced by the use of TypeAlias from typing module, match/case statements, and union type | syntax throughout the codebase, despite some documentation still mentioning Python 3.8+.

Learning: In TensorRT-LLM, test files (files under tests/ directories) do not require NVIDIA copyright headers, unlike production source code files. Test files typically start directly with imports, docstrings, or code.

Learning: In TensorRT-LLM, examples directory can have different dependency versions than the root requirements.txt file. Version conflicts between root and examples dependencies are acceptable because examples are designed to be standalone and self-contained.

Learning: In the TensorRT-LLM test infrastructure, the team prefers simple, direct solutions (like hard-coding directory traversal counts) over more complex but robust approaches when dealing with stable directory structures. They accept the maintenance cost of updating tests if the layout changes.

Learning: In TensorRT-LLM testing, it's common to have both CLI flow tests (test_cli_flow.py) and PyTorch API tests (test_llm_api_pytorch.py) for the same model. These serve different purposes: CLI flow tests validate the traditional command-line workflow, while PyTorch API tests validate the newer LLM API backend. Both are legitimate and should coexist.

Learning: CUTLASS extensions in TensorRT-LLM (located under cpp/tensorrt_llm/cutlass_extensions/) are designed to integrate with and extend functionality in the external CUTLASS repository. When analyzing these extensions, their consumers and functionality wiring may exist in the CUTLASS codebase rather than within TensorRT-LLM itself.
