We ship everything needed for userland -- including parts of CUDA/CuBLAS and CuDNN that we need (which is why our binaries are so fat).

GPU drivers would be kernel-land and I don't think we actually can install GPU drivers as part of a `pip install`. Will look into what Flux is doing, but I doubt they ship GPU drivers.

Separately, thanks for flagging the Poetry issue, we might prioritize it, especially if the fix is easy.

You might want to take a look at https://discuss.python.org/t/what-to-do-about-gpus-and-the-b... if you haven't seen it - there's a practical problem that hosting built GPU code on PyPI is very difficult.

yes Flux doesn't ship GPU drivers. It ships everything else (like CUDA toolkit etc) as needed, using the artifact / pkg system, for all mainstream OSes. Doesn't interfere with system libraries.

I'll hijack your presence and a post about CUDA/cuBLAS: is there any news about OpenCL support?
