- Run:
pip install --force-reinstall torch==2.1.2 --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu121 - If you run into an error with typing_extensions, run:
pip install -U typing-extensions - If there is an error with fsspec, run
pip install -U fsspec==2023.5.0

💻 Developer Changes
There are a number of important changes for contributors to be aware of.
Model Manager
The Model Manager is partway through a redesign, to make it more capable and maintainable. The redesign will support a much better user experience for downloading, installing and managing models. The changes are in the repo, but implemented separately from the user-facing app.
