AI interpretation — verify before relying

AI-generated interpretation of the package facts above; every digit, version, license, or vulnerability id it cites is grounded in the facts already shown on this page

Provides NVIDIA CUDA NVRTC (runtime compilation) native libraries for GPU-accelerated compute, enabling just-in-time compilation of CUDA kernels.

Medium install friction due to platform-specific wheels (x86_64 Linux, ARM64 Linux, Windows x64 only). Package is aging—434 days since last release—with no visible repository activity, raising questions about maintenance responsiveness.

Licensed under LicenseRef-NVIDIA-Proprietary with unclear treatment. NVIDIA's proprietary license terms are not SPDX-standardized, so review NVIDIA's licensing documentation directly before use in commercial or redistributed contexts.

Usage

pip install nvidia-cuda-nvrtc-cu12==12.9.86
import nvidia.cuda_nvrtc

Requires CUDA 12.x-compatible GPU and Linux (x86_64/ARM64) or Windows x64; not available for macOS or other architectures.

Verdict: A foundational NVIDIA library for GPU compute with no known vulnerabilities and broad Python version support (3.5+). However, its aging maintenance status (434 days), proprietary license with unclear terms, and platform-specific availability make it a dependency best evaluated as part of a larger CUDA ecosystem rather than as a standalone choice.

Needs verification

Whether NVIDIA actively maintains this package or has shifted maintenance to a different distribution channel.
Specific licensing restrictions on commercial use, redistribution, or bundling with proprietary software.
Whether the package works correctly with Python 3.5–3.9 despite being released in 2022 and updated in 2025.
