TensorRT 10.13.2#These are the TensorRT 10.13.2 Release Notes, which apply to x86 Linux and Windows users, and Arm-based CPU cores for Server Base System Architecture (SBSA) users on Linux. This release includes several fixes from the previous TensorRT releases and additional changes.
Announcements
The JetPack release for TensorRT has been combined with the TensorRT SBSA release starting with this TensorRT release. JetPack 7.x users should use the SBSA target and cross packages as there are no JetPack specific packages.
This TensorRT release introduces support for CUDA 13.0. With the introduction of support for CUDA 13.x, support for CUDA 11.x has been removed starting with this TensorRT release. TensorRT supports the two most recent CUDA major versions, CUDA 12.x and 13.x in this case.
Ubuntu 20.04 reached end-of-life (EOL) on May 31, 2025 and is no longer supported by TensorRT starting with this release.
Breaking ABI Changes
The object files, and therefore the symbols, inside the static library libonnx_proto.a have been merged into the libnvonnxparser_static.a static library. A symlink has been created for backward compatibility. Migrate your build to use the dynamic library libnvonnxparser.so. The static library libonnx_proto.a as well as libnvonnxparser_static.a will be removed in TensorRT 11.0.
Compatibility
TensorRT 10.13.2 has been tested with the following:
PyTorch >= 2.0 (refer to the requirements.txt file for each sample)
This TensorRT release supports NVIDIA CUDA:
This TensorRT release requires at least NVIDIA driver r535 on Linux or r537 on Windows as required by CUDA 12.x, which is the minimum CUDA version supported by this TensorRT release. For CUDA 13.x the minimum NVIDIA driver version is r580.
Limitations
Shuffle-op can not be transformed to no-op for perf improvement in some cases. For the NCHW32 format, TensorRT takes the third-to-last dimension as the channel dimension. When a Shuffle-op is added like [N, âCâ, H, 1] -> [âNâ, C, H], the channel dimension changes to N, then this op can not be transformed to no-op.
When running a FP32 model in FP16 or BF16 WeaklyTyped mode on Blackwell GPUs, if the FP32 weights values are used by FP16 kernels, TensorRT will not clip the weights to [fp16_lowest, fp16_max] or [bf16_lowest, bf16_max] to avoid overflow like inf values. If you see inf graph outputs on Blackwell GPUs only, check if any FP32 weights cannot be represented by either FP16 or BF16, and update the weights.
There are no optimized FP8 Convolutions for Group Convolutions and Depthwise Convolutions. Therefore, INT8 is still recommended for ConvNets containing these convolution ops.
The FP8 Convolutions do not support kernel sizes larger than 32, such as 7x7 convolutions, and FP16 or FP32 fallback kernels will be used with suboptimal performance. Therefore, do not add FP8 Q/DQ ops before Convolutions with large kernel sizes for better performance.
On QNX, networks that are segmented into a large number of DLA loadables may fail during inference.
The DLA compiler can remove identity transposes but cannot fuse multiple adjacent transpose layers into a single transpose layer (likewise for reshaping). For example, given a TensorRT IShuffleLayer consisting of two non-trivial transposes and an identity reshape in between, the shuffle layer is translated into two consecutive DLA transpose layers unless the user merges the transposes manually in the model definition in advance.
nvinfer1::UnaryOperation::kROUND or nvinfer1::UnaryOperation::kSIGN operations of IUnaryLayer are not supported in the implicit batch mode.
For networks containing normalization layers, particularly if deploying with mixed precision, target the latest ONNX opset containing the corresponding function ops, such as opset 17 for LayerNormalization or opset 18 GroupNormalization. Numerical accuracy using function ops is superior to the corresponding implementation with primitive ops for normalization layers.
When two convolutions with INT8-QDQ and residual add share the same weight, constant weight fusion will not occur. Make a copy of the shared weight for better performance.
When building the nonZeroPlugin sample on Windows, you may need to modify the CUDA version specified in the BuildCustomizations paths in the vcxproj file to match the installed version of CUDA.
The weights used in INT4 weights-only quantization (WoQ) cannot be refitted.
The high-precision weights used in FP4 double quantization are not refittable.
Python samples do not support Python 3.13. Only the 3.13 Python bindings are currently supported.
Python samples that require PyCUDA do not support CUDA 13.x.
Loops with scan outputs (ILoopOutputLayer with LoopOutput property being either LoopOutput::kCONCATENATE or LoopOutput::kREVERSE) must have the number of iterations set, that is, must have an ITripLimitLayer with TripLimit::kCOUNT. This requirement has always been present, but is now explicitly enforced instead of quietly having undefined behavior.

libnvinfer_static.a
libnvinfer_plugin_static.a

Fixed Issues
The FP8 convolutions used to only support input/output channels, which are multiples of 16. This has been fixed.
There cannot be any pointwise operations between the first batched GEMM and the softmax inside FP8 MHAs, such as having an attention mask. This will be improved in future TensorRT releases. [Po-Han - will_be_fixed_in the_future]
Up to 10% performance regression compared to TensorRT 10.9 for ViT on Orin GPUs. This has been fixed.
In some rare cases, FP8 MHA on SM90 might could have had accuracy issues with sequence length < 256.
There was an up to 6% performance regression compared to TensorRT 10.12 for demoDiffusion StableDiffusion v3 in FP16 precision on Hopper GPUs.
Known Issues
Functional
On TensorRT Auto, there may be mismatches between symbols exposed by the TensorRT libraries and the TensorRT Python package owing specifically to symbols related to the Ahead-of-Time Quickly Deployable Plugin (AOT QDP feature). AOT QDP feature is not supported on TensorRT Auto and any such symbols should be ignored.
Valgrind may show Invalid read of size 8 when calling cuMemcpyDtoHAsync_v2 and using CUDA 13.0 on edge Blackwell devices.
Engine build times for models using certain FP4 matrix multiplication kernels in FP4 quantized networks, on Thor Jetson GPUs with CUDA 13.0, may regress significantly.
Fused multi-head attention kernels in half precision with a custom mask may experience up to a 55% performance regression with CUDA 13.0 compared to CUDA 12.9 on Blackwell GPUs.
Engine build times for models using certain FP4 matrix multiplication kernels on Thor GPUs with CUDA 13.0 may regress significantly.
When building the samples in a minimal environment, such as a container thatâs not nvidia/cuda but a base distro container, you may encounter an issue where it fails to include cuda_profiler_api.h. This can be resolved by installing the Debian or RPM package cuda-profile-api-xx-yy, where xx is the CUDA major version and yy is the CUDA minor version for your installation. This will be fixed in the next release.
When running the FLUX Transformer model in 2048x2048 spatial dimensions, it may produce NaN outputs. This can be worked around with different spatial dimensions or switching from FP16 to BF16 precision.
When running PluginV3 on Blackwell GPUs, for the data types of the plugin inputs, TensorRT may do casting between quantized data types and non-quantized data types. For example, if a tactic claims to support INT8 IO while the IO tensors are FP32, the generated engine could be t1_f32 - Cast(i8) - plugin_tactic - Cast(f32) - t2_f32. The work around is to disable certain tactics in the plugin.
Support for B100 and B200 on Windows is considered experimental. Some networks may fail to run due to missing kernels for this GPU and OS combination. We plan to improve this support in a future release, but its status will remain experimental at this time.
Inputs to the IRecurrenceLayer must always have the same shape. This means that ONNX models with loops whose recurrence inputs change shapes will be rejected.
CUDA compute sanitizer may report racecheck hazards for some legacy kernels. However, related kernels do not have functional issues at runtime.
The compute sanitizer initcheck tool may flag false positive Uninitialized __global__ memory read errors when running TensorRT applications on NVIDIA Hopper GPUs. These errors can be safely ignored and will be fixed in an upcoming CUDA release.
Multihead attention fusion might not happen and affect performance if the number of heads is small.
An occurrence of use-after-free in NVRTC has been fixed in CUDA 12.1. When using NVRTC from CUDA 12.0 together with the TensorRT static library, you may encounter a crash in certain scenarios. Linking the NVRTC and PTXJIT compiler from CUDA 12.1 or newer will resolve this issue.
There are known issues reported by the Valgrind memory leak check tool when detecting potential memory leaks from TensorRT applications. The recommendation to suppress the issues is to provide a Valgrind suppression file with the following contents when running the Valgrind memory leak check tool. Add the option --keep-debuginfo=yes to the Valgrind command line to suppress these errors.
{
Memory leak errors with dlopen.
Memcheck:Leak
match-leak-kinds: definite
...
fun:*dlopen*
...
}
{
Memory leak errors with nvrtc
Memcheck:Leak
match-leak-kinds: definite
fun:malloc
obj:*libnvrtc.so*
...
}
SM 7.5 and earlier devices may not have INT8 implementations for all layers with Q/DQ nodes. In this case, you will encounter a could not find any implementation error while building your engine. To resolve this, remove the Q/DQ nodes, which quantize the failing layers.
For broadcasting elementwise layers running on DLA with GPU fallback enabled with one NxCxHxW input and one Nx1x1x1 input, there is a known accuracy issue if at least one of the inputs is consumed in kDLA_LINEAR format. It is recommended to explicitly set the input formats of such elementwise layers to different tensor formats.
Exclusive padding with kAVERAGE pooling is not supported.
Asynchronous CUDA calls are not supported in the user-defined processDebugTensor function for the debug tensor feature due to a bug in Windows 10.
inplace_add mini-sample of the quickly_deployable_plugins Python sample may produce incorrect outputs on Windows. This will be fixed in a future release.
When linking with libcudart_static.a using a RedHat gcc-toolset-11 or earlier compiler, you may encounter an issue where exception handling isnât working. When a throw or exception happens, the catch is ignored, and an abort is raised, killing the program. This may be related to a linker bug causing the eh_frame_hdr ELF segment to be empty. You can workaround this issue using a new linker, such as the one from gcc-toolset-13.
TensorRT may exit if inputs with invalid values are provided to the RoiAlign plugin (ROIAlign_TRT), especially if there is inconsistency in the indices specified in the batch_indices input and the actual batch size used.
In the Validate against Ground Truth section of the efficientnet samples, the link to download Caffeâs ILSVRC2012 auxiliary package is unstable. Therefore, the download might fail intermittently.
The ONNX specification of the NonMaxSuppression operation requires the iou_threshold parameter to be in the range of [0.0-1.0]. However, TensorRT does not validate the value of the parameter; therefore, TensorRT will accept values outside of this range, in which case, the engine will continue executing as if the value was capped at either end of this range.
PluginV2 in a loop or conditional scope is not supported. Upgrade to the PluginV3 interface as a WAR. This will impact some TensorRT-LLM models with GEMM plugins in a conditional scope.
There is a known host memory leak issue when building TensorRT engines on NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs.
DynamicQuantize does not support use cases where the batch dimension exceeds INT32_MAX.

In explicitly quantized networks, a group convolution with a Q/DQ pair before but no Q/DQ pair after runs with INT8-IN-FP32-OUT mixed precision. However, NVIDIA Hopper may fall back to FP32-IN-FP32-OUT if the input channel count is small.
The kREFIT and kREFIT_IDENTICAL have performance regressions compared with non-refit engines where convolution layers are present within a branch or loop, and the precision is FP16/INT8. This issue will be addressed in future releases.
