Description
Motivation.
To keep an accurate understanding of models that are tested and well supported, the TRTLLM team plans to deprecate models that have low usage. This will mean the models will no longer be actively tested against new changes and requested fixes to the model will be reviewed on a case by case basis.
Proposed Change.
We are currently planning to deprecate the following models and their deployment guides:
- llama3.3-70b
- llama4-scout
- kimi-k2-thinking
- deepseek-r1
If you use any of these models with new versions of TRTLLM and are depending on quality being maintained, please comment!
