Empirically (cu128 wheel SASS list `sm_80;90;90a;100;100a;120;120a` on
aarch64) the cu128 wheel covers DGX Spark sm_121 via sm_120 binary
forward-compat. BUT two CPU-side compilers shipped at cu12.8 do not know
sm_121 and need a cu13 swap:
(1) torch's bundled libnvrtc.so.12 from CUDA 12.8 rejects sm_121 as a
--gpu-architecture. Symlinks libnvrtc.so.13 over it.
(2) Triton's nvidia backend runs ptxas. Wheels older than 3.6.0 bundled
cu12.8 ptxas which silently downgrades sm_121 to sm_80 (see
triton-lang/triton#8335). Bump pin triton>=3.6.0 (3.6 bundles cu13
ptxas) AND install cuda-nvcc-13-0 so the entrypoint can point
TRITON_PTXAS_PATH at it as defense in depth.
Both fixes are arm64-only (gated on TARGETARCH, ~400 MB on the arm64
image; amd64 is untouched, no sm_121 hardware exists on x86_64). Neither
component talks to libcuda, so this does NOT bump the toolkit driver
floor away from cu128's 570+.
TRITON_PTXAS_PATH is set from the entrypoint (only when the cu13 ptxas
actually exists in the image) rather than via a Dockerfile ENV, because
ENV is unconditional and Triton errors out if TRITON_PTXAS_PATH points
at a nonexistent file.

# Container startup checks for Unsloth.

# Fails fast with actionable error messages when the host GPU isn't reachable,
|
|
# instead of letting torch crash deep with cryptic CUDA errors. Catches the
|
|
# three failure modes that cover ~95% of "it doesn't work" tickets:
|
|
#
|
|
# 1. nvidia-smi inside the container can't see any GPU
|
|
# - User forgot --gpus all
|
|
# - Host missing nvidia-container-toolkit
|
|
# 2. nvidia-smi works but torch.cuda.is_available() is False
|
|
# - Host driver too old for CUDA 12.8
|
|
# 3. GPU attaches but is older than Ampere (sm < 80)
|
|
# - Unsloth requires sm_80+
|
|
#

# docker run -e UNSLOTH_SKIP_GPU_CHECK=1 ...

Likely causes (in order of frequency):
|
|
|
|
1. You started the container without --gpus all.
|
|
Re-launch with:
|
|
docker run --gpus all <other-flags> unsloth/unsloth:latest <cmd>
|
|
Or use the bundled wrapper:
|
|
bash docker/run.sh <cmd>
|
|
|
|
2. Host is missing nvidia-container-toolkit.
|
|
Install: https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/cloud-native/container-toolkit/install-guide.html
|
|
Then: sudo systemctl restart docker
|
|
|
|
3. nvidia-container-toolkit is installed but the Docker daemon was not
|
|
restarted after install. Run:
|
|
sudo systemctl restart docker
|
|
|
|
4. You are using Podman / Kubernetes / a managed container service that
|
|
needs a different GPU flag than --gpus all. See the relevant docs:
|
|
podman: --device nvidia.com/gpu=all
|
|
k8s: nvidia.com/gpu resource request + GPU operator
|
|
|
|
To bypass this check (e.g. offline tooling), set UNSLOTH_SKIP_GPU_CHECK=1.
