Cause (Documented platform behavior): Documented tip: memory-related issue. Fix status: documented_behavior Limitations: - Legacy TensorRT workflow docs; PyTorch backend (LLM API) may differ. Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NVIDIA/TensorRT-LLM/c47ffb6aa05b095613347809c1efb0b9d156732e/docs/source/legacy/reference/troubleshooting.md (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Tips: error code 9 unsupported formats; reduce sizes or enable plugins; recommend --shm-size=1g --ulimit memlock=-1 for NCCL. Search phrasings: tensorrt-llm could not find any supported formats consistent with input/output data types; trtllm-build Error Code 9 Internal Error PLUGIN_V2_Gemm Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.
