The Qwen example used --watch and a development URL. The CLI has rejected TRT-LLM development deploys since 2024.

Thanks for the contribution! The README did indeed grow stale here.

TLDR
The GitHub README quickstart tells people to
truss push --watcha TRT-LLM Qwen config. That command exits. The rest of the guide (development URL,truss watch, "this creates production") does not match the CLI.What
The Qwen example is an engine-builder deploy. Default
truss pushis published.--watchis development mode, and the CLI has rejected that for TRT-LLM since 2024.After this change the quickstart matches the CLI and the first-model guide:
uvx truss push(no--watch)/environments/production/sync/v1--browser/--api-keyskip it.BASETEN_API_KEYis for the OpenAI client, not for skippingtruss login.https://docs.baseten.co/...instead of repo-root paths that 404 on GitHub.openai-compatibleandnum_builder_gpus: 2, same as the first-model guide.The live-reload / fake-promote section is gone.
--watchis pointed at Customize a model.Why
I walked the README against
cli.pyafter #2627. The March 2026 README rewrite glued a TRT-LLM first-model config onto the custom-Python watch/promote flow. The CLI already blocked that path. The site docs were later corrected. This file was not.How
README only. No CLI change.
Testing
No unit tests. I checked the new commands against
truss/cli/cli.py(uses_trt_llm_builder+--watchexits, defaultpublish = True) andtruss/cli/remote_cli.py(auth picker). Compared the deploy/call steps to https://docs.baseten.co/examples/deploy-your-first-model.
