chore(versions): align tutorials examples with 26.08 release train

[mc-nv]

What does the PR do?

Bumps every Triton container tag and image ref in the tutorials from 26.07 to 26.08
for the 26.08 release — 19 files, 39 lines.

Covers tritonserver:26.07-{py3,py3-sdk,trtllm-python-py3,vllm-python-py3} tags across
the conceptual guides, Kubernetes deployment examples, quick-deploy tutorials and the
Python API build scripts, plus r26.07 → r26.08 in derived image tags
(triton-python-api:r26.07*, tritonserver:r26.07-diffusion).

Where should the reviewer start?

Triton_Inference_Server_Python_API/ — build.sh, docker/Dockerfile and README.md
carry bare 26.07-py3 tags and a ### Triton Inference Server 26.07 + Python API
heading that a tritonserver:26.07 find/replace alone would miss. The r26.07 bump
(#155) changed those same lines.

Test plan:

• pre-commit run --files <changed> passes on every changed file; no hook rewrote anything.

• Post-edit grep for 26.07 across the repo returns nothing.

• Diffstat matches the r26.07 bump (chore(versions): align tutorials examples with 26.07 release train #155) file-for-file: 19 files, +39/-39.

• CI Pipeline ID:

Caveats:

Docs-only; no tutorial was executed against the 26.08 containers as part of this change.

Background

Code-freeze step for the 26.08 release.

Greptile Summary

This PR advances Triton container and derived-image references from the 26.07 to the 26.08 release train.

• Updates server, SDK, TensorRT-LLM, and vLLM image references in tutorial documentation and Kubernetes examples.
• Updates Python API build defaults and derived image tags to r26.08.
• Leaves the Stable Diffusion build implementation on its older 24.08 base despite documenting 26.08.

Confidence Score: 4/5

The release bump should not merge until the Stable Diffusion builder and its updated 26.08 documentation select the same Triton base release.

The tag updates are otherwise internally consistent, but the changed Stable Diffusion guide promises a 26.08-based image while its supplied build path still selects 24.08-py3.

Files Needing Attention: Popular_Models_Guide/StableDiffusion/README.md and Popular_Models_Guide/StableDiffusion/build.sh

Important Files Changed

Filename	Overview
Triton_Inference_Server_Python_API/build.sh	Updates the Python API and diffusion-derived tags consistently; the intermediate image producer and consumers remain aligned.
Popular_Models_Guide/StableDiffusion/README.md	Changes the documented base to 26.08, but the associated build script continues to build from 24.08-py3.
Deployment/Kubernetes/EKS_Multinode_Triton_TRTLLM/multinode_helm_chart/gen_ai_perf.yaml	Mechanically updates the SDK image tag to 26.08 without changing workload behavior or security configuration.
Quick_Deploy/HuggingFaceTransformers/Dockerfile	Updates the Triton base image to 26.08 while preserving the existing dependency installation.

Documented diffusion base stays stale

When a user follows this updated guide, the supplied build script still passes 24.08-py3 as its base image while the changed documentation promises 26.08-py3, causing the resulting diffusion image to omit the documented 26.08 release contents.
