NVIDIA AIPerf — vendor-neutral generative-AI inference benchmarking (genai-perf successor). `aiperf profile`: concurrency / request-rate / fixed-schedule trace replay / user-centric / multi-run confidence, 19 endpoint types (chat, completions, embeddings, rankings, responses, messages, audio transcription, image-gen/edit, video-gen, NIM, HF-TGI, raw, template), 13 custom dataset formats (single/multi-turn; mooncake, bailian, burst_gpt, baseten, weka, tracelab traces; random_pool, dag_jsonl…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# AIPerf — NVIDIA generative-AI inference benchmarking

Use for defensible latency / throughput / goodput numbers against any OpenAI-compatible server (vLLM, SGLang, TensorRT-LLM, NVIDIA Dynamo, NIM, Triton, HF TGI, Ollama), and for extending AIPerf with plugins. AIPerf is the `genai-perf` successor; its numbers differ for reasoning models (pitfall 2). For a vLLM-only target driven by the in-tree `vllm bench` toolchain, use the `vllm-benchmarking` skill; use AIPerf when the target is non-vLLM or the workload is trace-driven, multi-modal, multi-server, or needs goodput.

## Version-gated capabilities — check `aiperf --version` before using

| Need | Use | Needs |
|---|---|---|
| Sweep or search instead of a shell loop | List flags (`--concurrency 10,50,100`), `--search-recipe <name>`, YAML `sweep:` / Bayesian search; multi-tier SLO search `--search-sla-tier` | recipes/BO v0.10.0; tiers v0.11.0 |
| Several warmup/profiling phases, or adaptive scaling, in one run | Phases and scale variables in the YAML config | v0.12.0 |
| Accuracy alongside perf | `--accuracy-benchmark` (see `references/cli.md`) | AIME v0.9.0; HellaSwag/BBH/AIME24-25 v0.10.0; MATH-500/GPQA/LCB/GSM8K v0.11.0 |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add air-gapped/skills/aiperf@sha256:6f1646ab26b88521

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261019.9eca78f, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
