Is TensorRT-LLM Still Maintained? Live GitHub Status
On GitHub, the project describes itself as: “TensorRT LLM provides users with an easy-to-use Python API to define Large Language Models (LLMs) and supports state-of-the-art optimizations to perform inference efficiently on NVIDIA GPUs. TensorRT LLM also contains components to create Python and C++ runtimes that orchestrate the inference execution in a performant way.”
Short answer: Yes, it is actively maintained. Health score 97/100. Checked 18 Oct 2026.
What the numbers say
TensorRT-LLM’s main branch received 2,367 commits in the last 91 days, against 1,324 in the same 91 days a year earlier (+79%). Activity is at least half of last year’s pace and no maintenance notice was found, so the index labels it active. It has 14,850 stars on GitHub. GitHub does not recognise its licence as a standard one, so read the licence file before commercial use.
TensorRT-LLM usage: downloads and installs
tensorrt-llmTrend: the monthly download count is stored once a day, starting 17 Oct 2026. A chart appears here after a week of readings.
Download and pull counts include automated installs from CI pipelines, containers and mirrors, so they show how widely the software is pulled, not how many people use it. Numbers from different registries are not comparable with each other. Sources: PyPI download statistics via ecosyste.ms, read 18 Oct 2026, 19:52 UTC.

What is the latest TensorRT-LLM release?
The latest GitHub release of TensorRT-LLM is v1.2.1, published on 20 April 2026.
How many people contribute to TensorRT-LLM?
GitHub lists 421 contributors for TensorRT-LLM. 2,410 pull requests were merged in the last 91 days.
What licence does TensorRT-LLM use?
GitHub does not match the TensorRT-LLM licence to a standard one, so read its licence file before commercial use.
How many times is TensorRT-LLM downloaded?
The tensorrt-llm package on PyPI was downloaded 15,070 times in the last month, according to ecosyste.ms (checked 18 October 2026). The count includes automated installs from CI pipelines and mirrors, so it is not a count of users.
How is the health score calculated?
It adds five parts from public GitHub data: commit activity over 91 days (35 points), the trend against the same period last year (20), how recent the last commit is (15), how recent the last release is (10) and merged pull requests (20). Archived projects score 0; a maintenance notice caps the score at 25. It measures maintenance signals only, not code quality or security.

How this is measured: commits on the repository’s default branch counted through the GitHub API, the last 91 days against the same 91 days a year earlier; archived flag and licence from the repository; README checked daily for maintenance notices. Commit counts measure activity, not quality, and we have not tested this tool ourselves for this page.
