Triton Inference Server

NVIDIA Triton Inference Server provides a cloud and edge inferencing solution optimized for both CPUs and GPUs. Triton supports an HTTP/REST and gRPC protocol that allows remote clients to request inferencing for any model being managed by the server. Open source and part of the broader NVIDIA AI ecosystem, Triton implements the KServe V2 inference protocol supporting TensorRT, TensorFlow, PyTorch, ONNX Runtime, Python, and more backends.

Triton Inference Server publishes 11 APIs on the APIs.io network, including CUDA Shared Memory API, Health API, Inference API, and 8 more. Tagged areas include AI, Deep Learning, Inference, Machine Learning, and Model Serving.

The Triton Inference Server catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.

Triton Inference Server’s developer surface includes documentation, getting-started guide, release notes, and 20 more developer resources.
