📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe PR adds opt-in TensorRT-RTX ABI calibration support on Windows x64.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR adds ABI-backed calibration selection, but custom-operator calibration can fail when classic TensorRT is also selected because plugin paths are not configured, and invalid backend values can be accepted inconsistently across paths.

Qualify the default-install statement by Python version.
pyproject.toml installs the ABI plugin only for Windows AMD64 with Python greater than 3.10. The current wording says that every Windows x64 installation includes the plugin, although Python 3.10 uses the legacy backend.
Update the sentence to include the Python condition.

Configure classic TensorRT when ABI mode also selects it for custom plugins.
When trt_rtx_backend="abi" and custom operators require trt_extra_plugin_lib_paths, update_trt_ep_support adds TensorrtExecutionProvider. This condition skips its plugin options, so calibration cannot load those custom operators.
Keep the skip only for ABI-only provider lists. Add a regression test for ABI mode with custom operators and plugin paths.

Validate trt_rtx_backend before dispatch.
Reject values other than "legacy" and "abi" at the public quantization boundary so invalid selections cannot proceed through CLI or API paths that do not create an inference session. Add a regression test covering invalid values.

To confirm, Is this upgrade of ort-gpu version tested with ort-gpu calibration and benchmarking (e.g. MMLU evals etc. )?
If it is tested, should we keep the ort-gpu version same in both with and without ep abi plugin cases?

To be clear, is this used only when we are calibrating with TRTRTX EP (via EP ABI), and not used when we are calibrating with default ort-gpu EP that comes with modelopt? And, CUDA EP continues to work fine even in its presence?

I think this "in-between" addition of EP ABI plugin stuff doesn't look right placement for adding TRTRTX EP related instructions.
ORT-GPU content should be together and then we should add any other dependency related instructions.
Also, this line "The default CUDA version needed for onnxruntime-gpu since v1.19.0 is 12.x." appears to be deleted.

Should this default be "legacy" or "ABI"? I guess EP ABI is the default path now for TRTRTX EP. Can you check on this and confirm, update required places?
|
Using TRTRTX EP with EP ABI is a bit more involved - it has extra registration step, requires extra plugin package (onnxruntime-ep-nv-tensorrt-rtx-cu13) etc.. I suggest we add high-level TRTRTX EP usage instructions or snippets in ModelOpt's onnxruntime deployment page - https://github.com/NVIDIA/Model-Optimizer/blob/main/docs/source/deployment/2_onnxruntime.rst - and add relevant links to TRTRTX EP ABI official docs. This should hopefully help the ModelOpt users to get to the right instructions for TRTRTX EP deployment (legacy and EP ABI paths). |

On this else branch: if the user passed a TRT plugin path together with NvTensorRtRtx, should we raise an error rather than silently forcing the classic TensorRT EP to first choice?
Also, since this introduces the TensorRT EP as primary possibly overriding the user choice of EPs ordering, this feels like it should be a warning rather than an info log so the EP override is visible.

What does this PR do?
Type of change: new feature
Adds opt-in support for using the standalone TensorRT-RTX ABI Execution Provider during ModelOpt ONNX quantization.
Users select the ABI backend with:
--calibration_eps=NvTensorRtRtx --trt_rtx_backend=abiWhen selected, ModelOpt imports and registers the installed TensorRT-RTX ABI provider before creating the ONNX Runtime inference session. The backend selection is propagated through INT8, FP8, and INT4 AWQ calibration paths, including the Windows GenAI LLM quantization example.
The existing
--calibration_eps=NvTensorRtRtxbehavior remains backward compatible. Thelegacybackend is still the default and continues to use TensorRT-RTX libraries supplied throughPATH.For Windows x64 with Python 3.11 or newer, the ONNX dependencies now include:
onnxruntime-gpu~=1.26.0onnxruntime-ep-nv-tensorrt-rtx-cu13==0.4.0Keeping
onnxruntime-gpuallows users to select either CUDA EP or TensorRT-RTX ABI EP for calibration. Windows-on-Arm source-build instructions are intentionally out of scope and will be documented separately.Usage
