Been waiting to see what Astral would do first (with regards to product). Seems like a mix of artifactory and conda? artifactory providing a package server and conda trying to fix the difficulty that comes from Python packages with compiled components or dependencies, mostly solved by wheels, but of course PyTorch wheels requiring specific CUDA can still be a mess that conda fixes
- notatallshaw 1y agoGiven Astral's heavy involvement in the wheelnext project I suspect this index is an early adopter of Wheel Variants which are an attempt to solve the problems of CUDA (and that entire class of problems not just CUDA specifically) in a more automated way than even conda: https://wheelnext.dev/proposals/pepxxx_wheel_variant_support/ https://wheelnext.dev/proposals/pepxxx_wheel_variant_support...
- zanie 1y agoIt's actually not powered by Wheel Variants right now, though we are generally early adopters of the initiative :)
- notatallshaw 1y agoWell it was just a guess, "GPU-aware" is a bit mysterious to those of us on the outside ;).
