🌐 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].

Citations:

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.
