+# LLM API with TensorRT Engine
+A simple inference example with TinyLlama using the LLM API:

+    :language: python
+    :linenos:
+```
+
+For more advanced usage including distributed inference, multimodal, and speculative decoding, please refer to this [README](../../../examples/llm-api/README.md).
