Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 2e4ea

The PR adds Windows ARM64 setup guidance and TensorRT-RTX calibration documentation, but some instructions currently describe an unavailable option, may continue after failed setup commands, or conflict with the ARM64 dependency contract. The change is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up to correct these bounded documentation risks.

PyPI cupy-cuda13x 14.2.0 files Windows ARM64 win_arm64 and onnxruntime TensorRT RTX EP package 0.4.0 import onnxruntime_ep_nv_tensorrt_rtx

💡 Result:

For the requested packages and libraries, here is the current status as of August 27, 2026: CuPy Windows ARM64 Support CuPy version 14.2.0 is available on PyPI [1][2]. Official documentation and package listings specify that CuPy wheels (precompiled binaries) for Windows are currently tested and provided primarily for x86_64 architectures [3][4]. While CuPy provides broader support for aarch64 on Linux, there is no official support or precompiled win_arm64 wheel for CuPy on Windows in the PyPI release [3][4][5]. Users requiring CuPy on Windows ARM64 would likely need to build from source, which is not natively supported by the standard binary distribution process [3]. ONNX Runtime TensorRT RTX EP 0.4.0 The package onnxruntime-ep-nv-tensorrt-rtx version 0.4.0 is available as a meta-package on PyPI [6]. This package is designed to support the NVIDIA TensorRT RTX Execution Provider (EP) via the ORT Plugin EP ABI [7][8]. Importing the EP To use the TensorRT RTX EP in your Python code, you import the provider library and register it with ONNX Runtime [7][9]. The import statement and registration pattern is as follows: import onnxruntime as ort import onnxruntime_ep_nv_tensorrt_rtx as trt_ep # Register the EP plugin ort.register_execution_provider_library(trt_ep.get_ep_name, trt_ep.get_library_path) The onnxruntime_ep_nv_tensorrt_rtx module provides utility functions like get_ep_name() and get_library_path() to handle the registration of the plugin DLL (onnxruntime_providers_nv_tensorrt_rtx.dll) [7][9]. Note that this EP requires an NVIDIA RTX GPU (Ampere architecture or later) and appropriate driver support [7][10]. The meta-package onnxruntime-ep-nv-tensorrt-rtx automatically pulls in the required CUDA-specific variant (e.g., onnxruntime-ep-nv-tensorrt-rtx-cu13) [6].

Align the installation block with the smoke-test dependencies.

pip install -e ".[onnx]" installs onnxruntime-gpu==1.22.0 and cupy-cuda12x on Windows, but the smoke test requires the documented ONNX Runtime 1.24.4, TensorRT RTX EP module, and cupy-cuda13x 14.2.0. The TensorRT RTX package is not declared, and CuPy 14.2.0 has no Windows ARM64 wheel. Document the tested package versions and a supported CuPy ARM64 source-build process; otherwise setup can fail before PyArrow validation.

Point $LlvmRoot to an installed LLVM toolchain.

The setup defines $LlvmRoot as $Venv\llvm-arm64, but no command installs or extracts LLVM into that directory. The later compiler checks and CMake commands can therefore fail because $LlvmRoot\bin\clang-cl.exe does not exist. Add the LLVM installation step or set $LlvmRoot to the actual installation path.

I want to support py 3.13 so the modelopt-onnx and modelopt-torch can be in the same env, can you give me a check list? Like what need to be checked in py 3.13 env.

Also, what do you think of also supporting py 3.14

For the checklist, I think it would be better to get this details based on actual run / setup.

For the documentation, we have support matrices in documentation, where we can mention what is supported / validated today.

We can have py 3.14 support in follow up, after some validation.

ModelOpt uses the legacy TensorRT-RTX EP by default. To use the standalone EP ABI plugin
instead, install the TensorRT-RTX ABI package and pass
``--calibration_eps NvTensorRtRtx --trt_rtx_backend abi``. ModelOpt registers the plugin
only when this backend is selected; CUDA EP calibration remains available independently.

Wire the ABI backend before documenting this command. The NvTensorRtRtx path only checks for DLLs, passes NvTensorRTRTXExecutionProvider to ort.InferenceSession, and never calls ort.register_execution_provider_library. The quantization CLI also does not define --trt_rtx_backend. Import the ABI package and register its library before calibration, or remove this option and claim.

Separate the ARM64 requirements from the general Windows rows.

Adding ARM64 to the architecture row makes the existing requirements appear to apply to ARM64, but the linked ARM64 guide installs onnxruntime>=1.24.2 and documents only a CPython 3.13, cp313-cp313-win_arm64 build path. This table still lists ONNX Runtime 1.20.0 and Python >=3.10,<3.14 without an ARM64 qualifier. Split or qualify the rows so users do not follow a different dependency contract from the ARM64 guide.

Fail fast when setup or validation commands fail.

The wheel installation, smoke test, and pip check can return non-zero, but the guide does not inspect $LASTEXITCODE. A pasted PowerShell block can therefore continue after a failed installation or validation.

Follow the :ref:`Windows on Arm installation guide <Install-Page-Windows-ARM64>` for the tested
LLVM, Arrow C++, and PyArrow build procedure. The locally built wheel must match the Python ABI and
native ARM64 toolchain used by the target environment.

PyPI pyarrow latest release Windows ARM64 win_arm64 wheel 2026

💡 Result:

As of September 1, 2026, the official pyarrow releases available on PyPI do not include native win_arm64 wheels [1][2]. While the latest version of pyarrow is 25.0.1 (released August 10, 2026) [3][4], the official Apache Arrow project currently provides binary wheels on PyPI primarily for Linux, macOS, and x86_64 Windows [3]. Support for Windows ARM64 is actively tracked by the project (e.g., issue #47195), and while CI infrastructure for Windows ARM64 exists and is evolving, official native win_arm64 wheels have not yet been published to PyPI as part of the standard release process [5][6][1]. Users requiring native Windows ARM64 support have, in some instances, resorted to community-provided or self-built wheels [1][7].

Apache Arrow pull request 48539 PyArrow Windows ARM64 wheel status

💡 Result:

As of September 1, 2026, Apache Arrow pull request #48539, titled "[Python][CI] Add support for building PyArrow library on Windows ARM64," remains open [1]. The status and context regarding this pull request and Windows ARM64 wheel support are as follows: - Purpose: Pull request #48539 aims to introduce native CI support for building PyArrow wheels on Windows ARM64 using GitHub Actions native runners (windows-11-arm), as traditional Windows Docker containers do not currently support Windows ARM64 [1]. - Current State: The PR is active and has been linked to the broader effort of supporting PyArrow on Windows ARM64 (tracked in issue #47195) [2][1]. It addresses the need for build infrastructure but has faced challenges during development, such as managing dependencies like cryptography that lacked official Windows ARM64 wheel support at various points [1]. - Official Availability: As of the Apache Arrow 25.0.1 release, official PyArrow wheels for Windows ARM64 are not provided through standard distribution channels like PyPI [3][4]. Users requiring native Windows ARM64 support have, in some instances, manually replicated the build processes from upstream CI configurations to generate their own wheels [4]. In summary, while there is active development via PR #48539 to enable automated Windows ARM64 wheel builds in the project's CI, these wheels are not yet part of the official Apache Arrow distribution [1][4].

Make the local-build workaround conditional.

State that PyPI does not currently publish a native win_arm64 wheel for the tested PyArrow version. If a compatible wheel becomes available, users should install it instead of building PyArrow locally.

This directory is reserved for Python 3.13 ARM64-specific example assets if
they are needed in the future.

Lets not make this directory upfront. We have installation guide and ONNX PTQ example at its own places. I don't see this directory serving any purpose. I would prefer avoiding arch specific example folder unless absolutely needed (like different scripts for different archs - which normally doesn't happen).


Windows ARM64 users should first follow the
[Windows on Arm installation guide](https://nvidia.github.io/Model-Optimizer/getting_started/windows/_installation_windows_arm64.html),
then use the same [ONNX PTQ examples](../onnx_ptq/README.md) as Windows x64 users.

Summarizing few corrections needed as per current PR:

  1. Removing python_313_arm64 directory (unless absolutely needed in real).
  2. Minor nit picks, rewording I highlighted earlier.

Otherwise, change looks okay to me.
