# TensorRT Model Connect

In an experience report, the NVIDIA team describes how it built the open source TensorRT Model Connect: a C++ collection of model-family-owned reference implementations on top of TensorRT that turn supported Hugging Face or local checkpoints into versioned .bundle artifacts and expose task-oriented native C++ APIs for text, vision, audio, diffusion, segmentation, embedding, forecasting, and other workloads; as of the public July 29, 2026 release comparison the project covered 128 model families tested on NVIDIA GB300, and the team derives an operational "AI native" practice centered on parallel decomposable work, model-family isolation, reversible changes, and GPU-backed automated validation.
