# NVIDIA TAO

**NVIDIA TAO (Transfer Learning Toolkit)**

NVIDIA TAO, part of the Transfer Learning Toolkit (TLT), provides tools and workflows to fine-tune pre-trained deep learning models on custom data. Follow these steps to deploy models trained with TAO:

1. **Model Training**: Train your deep learning models using TAO on NVIDIA GPUs, leveraging pre-trained models and transfer learning techniques for tasks such as object detection, segmentation, or classification.
2. **Inference Optimization**: Optimize your trained models for deployment on NVIDIA hardware using TensorRT, NVIDIA's high-performance deep learning inference library. Convert your models to TensorRT format and utilize optimizations such as INT8 quantization and layer fusion for accelerated inference.
