When you create and train a machine learning model, your model can technically perform inference. But chances are it is far from being optimized for inference. Depending on the framework you use sometimes this difference can be hidden from you for simplification, or it can be more explicit.

What’s New In TensorRT 8?

TensorRT 8 comes with pretty significant advancements over the existing TensorRT 7. Let’s unfold 3 major advancements and what they mean for you.

Quantization Aware Training
