Description

Description

For the following onnx model,
Image
it can be imported by the onnx frontend in TensorRT. However, it failes to build the serialized network. The following error message is produced:

[05/28/2025-16:06:34] [TRT] [E] IBuilder::buildSerializedNetwork: Error Code 4: API Usage Error (IGatherLayer gathernd_node: gathernd_node: dimensions not compatible for Gather with GatherMode = kND)

Environment

TensorRT Version: 10.11.0.33

NVIDIA GPU: GeForce RTX 3080

NVIDIA Driver Version: 535.183.01

CUDA Version: 12.2

CUDNN Version: none

Operating System: ubuntu 20.04

Python Version (if applicable): 3.12.9

Tensorflow Version (if applicable): none

PyTorch Version (if applicable): none

Baremetal or Container (if so, version): none

Steps To Reproduce

This bug can be reproduced by the following code with the model in the attachment. As shown in the code, the model can be executed by onnxruntime.

from typing import Dict, List, Literal, Optional
import sys
import os

import numpy as np
import onnx
import onnxruntime
from onnx import ModelProto, TensorProto, helper, mapping

import tensorrt as trt
import pycuda.driver as cuda
import pycuda.autoinit

import pickle


def test():
    onnx_model = onnx.load("111.onnx")
    onnx_model.ir_version = 8
    onnx_model.opset_import[0].version = 14
    
    with open("inputs.pkl", "rb") as fp:
        inputs = pickle.load(fp)

    try:
        ort_session = onnxruntime.InferenceSession(
            onnx_model.SerializeToString(), providers=["CPUExecutionProvider"]
        )
        ort_output = ort_session.run([], inputs)
    except Exception as e:
        print(e)
        print("This model cannot be executed by onnxruntime!")
        sys.exit(1)
    
    print("ONNXRuntime:\n", ort_output)
    
    #--------------------------------------------------------
        
    trt_logger = trt.Logger(trt.Logger.WARNING)
    trt.init_libnvinfer_plugins(trt_logger, '')
    builder = trt.Builder(trt_logger)
    network = builder.create_network(flags=1 << int(trt.NetworkDefinitionCreationFlag.EXPLICIT_BATCH))

    parser = trt.OnnxParser(network, trt_logger)
    with open("111.onnx", 'rb') as model_file:
        if not parser.parse(model_file.read()):
            for error in range(parser.num_errors):
                print(parser.get_error(error))
            sys.exit(1)
            
    config = builder.create_builder_config()
    serialized_engine = builder.build_serialized_network(network, config)
    
    if serialized_engine == None:
        sys.exit(1)
    
if __name__ == "__main__":
    test()

Commands or scripts:

Have you tried the latest release?: yes

Can this model run on other frameworks? For example run ONNX model with ONNXRuntime (polygraphy run <model.onnx> --onnxrt): the mode can be executed by onnxruntime.
