Comment:
This comment is less important than the former, but:

https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-toolkit-release-notes/index.html#id5 is an important reference for driver versions to cuda versions if we're bundling them separately. Nvidia driver is 535.129(.03?) as of Dec 5, 2023 which corresponds to CUDA 12.2 - I had downloaded 12.3 and was encountering:

`cuLinkAddData(): the provided PTX was compiled with an unsupported toolchain.` running hashcat as a generally available quick test.

I think this is important for matching CUDA versions to drivers if we package (https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-toolkit-archive).

We can also always package a nvidia-cuda-download-helper script if the cuda licensing becomes an issue.

Here's an example of how nvidia-cuda-download-helper might look: https://gist.github.com/namgo/9aeeee2025b341779be85e596822893f - I've tested the result with hashcat briefly but haven't tried building pytorch with it yet. If CUDA licensing is really an issue, a restricted package might be necessary then? Still waiting to hear back, but the above script seems to be a start.
