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 CURAND native runtime libraries for GPU-accelerated random number generation on CUDA 12 systems.

Medium install friction due to platform-specific wheels (x86_64, aarch64, Windows); no runtime dependencies. Package status is aging—469 days since last release—with no accessible repository or commit history to assess ongoing maintenance.

Licensed under NVIDIA Proprietary Software with unclear treatment; no SPDX identifier provided. Users should verify compliance with NVIDIA's terms before integrating into production systems.

Usage

pip install nvidia-curand-cu12==10.3.10.19
import nvidia.cuda.runtime.lib.libcurand

Requires CUDA 12 toolkit installed; only runs on Linux (x86_64/aarch64) or Windows amd64; Python >=3 required.

Verdict: A specialized GPU runtime library for CUDA 12 environments with no known vulnerabilities and top-1000 popularity, but aging maintenance (469 days), unclear proprietary licensing, and platform-specific installation friction. Suitable for projects already committed to NVIDIA CUDA infrastructure; verify license terms and CUDA 12 compatibility before adoption.

Needs verification

Whether the package receives security updates despite no recent releases
Exact scope and restrictions of NVIDIA Proprietary Software license for commercial use
Whether Python 3.5–3.9 support claims (in classifiers) remain tested and functional
