Starting with the 25.10 release, cuML can now be easily installed via pip from PyPI, eliminating the need for complex installation steps and Conda environments. The NVIDIA team has successfully reduced the size of CUDA C++ library binaries by approximately 30%, enabling this distribution method. This reduction was achieved through optimization techniques that address bloat in the CUDA C++ codebase, making the libraries more accessible and efficient. These efforts not only improve user experience with faster downloads and reduced storage requirements but also lower distribution costs and promote the development of more manageable CUDA C++ libraries. This matters because it simplifies the installation process for users and encourages broader adoption of cuML and similar libraries.
