>pip is perfectly fine just use a venv bro, what are you dumb?
Meanwhile pip looks for three different versions of flash-attn when installing axolotl and there is no sane way of figuring out which version of the binary wheel I would have to install manually to avoid the 2 hour build from source. And then fails with a 404 looking for God knows what in God knows who's server.
$ cat log.txt | grep flash-attn=
Collecting flash-attn==2.8.2 (from axolotl[deepspeed,flash-attn])
Collecting flash-attn==2.8.0.post2 (from axolotl[deepspeed,flash-attn])
Collecting flash-attn==2.7.4.post1 (from axolotl[deepspeed,flash-attn])
At least yesterday the install was failing.
If it keeps failing today once it errors out I'll post the error.
