build: bump customizer pytorch base images - #1283
Conversation
Signed-off-by: Matt Kornfield <mkornfield@nvidia.com>
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe Dockerfiles now use NVIDIA PyTorch 26.07. Related documentation and comments were updated to remove stale base-image references and clarify wheel installation and inherited system-site packages. ChangesPyTorch image update
Suggested reviewers: Mergeability Score: 🔵 Low · up to The image upgrade may leave the Unsloth build using an unavailable CUDA path and outdated CUDA wheel guidance, which could cause the Flash Attention build or documented setup steps to fail. The PR is otherwise mergeable with explicit owner follow-up on these localized compatibility updates. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

Update the Unsloth compatibility documentation.
docker/unsloth/README.md still documents NGC 26.02/CUDA 13.1 and cu13.1.1 wheels. Update its build steps, prerequisites, gotchas, architecture notes, and wheel-selection guidance for the Dockerfile’s NGC 26.07 base and cu13.2 wheels.

🌐 Web query:
NVIDIA nvcr.io/nvidia/pytorch:26.07-py3 CUDA 13.1 /usr/local/cuda-13.1 toolkit path
💡 Result:
The NVIDIA PyTorch container nvcr.io/nvidia/pytorch:26.07-py3 is based on NVIDIA CUDA 13.3.1, not CUDA 13.1 [1]. In NVIDIA NGC PyTorch containers, the CUDA Toolkit is typically not installed as a standalone package in the traditional /usr/local/cuda-xx.x directory found in full SDK installations [2][3]. Instead, the necessary CUDA libraries (such as cuBLAS, cuDNN, and NCCL) are pre-installed and configured within the container's environment to allow PyTorch to utilize GPU acceleration immediately without requiring additional toolkit installation or path configuration [2][3]. If you need to locate specific CUDA-related binaries or libraries within the container, they are generally found in standard system library paths (e.g., /usr/local/lib) or environment-specific locations managed by the container's Python environment [1][4]. Official NVIDIA documentation advises that no additional installation or dependency management is required for these containers [2][3].

Use the toolkit provided by the base image.
Do not hard-code CUDA_HOME=/usr/local/cuda-13.1. The 26.07-py3 image uses CUDA 13.3.1 and may not contain that directory. Resolve the installed nvcc path and set CUDA_HOME accordingly before enabling the Flash Attention build.
