NVIDIA posted TensorRT‑LLM version 1.4.0rc1 on October 22 2026. The update makes the KV cache manager V2 the default API, a breaking change for developers, and drops the now‑unused LlmRequest fields. It also adds model support for DeepSeek‑V4.1‑Flash, NVFP4 GLM‑5.3‑Flash, and Qwen3.8‑Flash‑Next, among others.
Why it matters
Developers using TensorRT‑LLM must update their code to the new KV cache API, or their applications will fail to start.
