Unfortunate name clash with NVIDIAs Triton Inference Server: https://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-triton-inference-server
> PS: The name Triton was coined in mid-2019 when I released my PhD paper on the subject (http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/~htk/publication/2019-mapl-tille...). I chose not to rename the project when the Triton inference server came out a year later since it's the only thing that ties my helpful PhD advisors to the project.
Same industry: check
Maybe the author should expect an incoming C&D. IIRC US is first-to-use, so NVIDIA would prevail?
It kind of looks like the article just changed the heading later since in the article the docker images they refer to etc. are all still called 'tensorrtserver' which was the project's name before they changed naming in Release 20.03.
The OpenAI-Triton Author says on reddit: 'You can also look at the github history and you will see that there is no mention of the "Triton inference server" up until version 2.0, which wasn't out in 2019 (I ran `git reset --hard v1.9.0 ; grep -ir "triton" .`)' [1]

So it's especially weird to see it coming from OpenAI, and not a more random startup. It honestly makes no sense they would deliberately do this, unless there is some secret cult of Triton that is going on in the Bay Area world of AI/ML.
