Ehh, is it cool and time savings that it figured it out? Yes. But the solution was to get a “better” version prebuilt wheel package of PyTorch. This is a relatively “easy” problem to solve (figuring out this was the problem does take time). But it’s (probably, I can’t afford one) going to be painful when you want to upgrade the cuda version or specify a specific version. Unlike a typical PC, you’re going to need to build a new image and flash it. I would be more impressed when a LLM can do this end to end for you.
