After running some 3DMark and FurMark benchmarks on Windows to make sure that my new 5090 is not causing melting cables [1] and some nice shots with a thermal camera (I don't think that's too much), running some fine-tuning experiments with my favorite Flair & Transformers libraries are very easy to perform.

Important steps:

Good idea is to start with a fresh Ubuntu 24.04 installation with latest CUDA 12.8 and the open NVIDIA driver - follow more advices from [2]:

sudo apt -y install cuda-toolkit-12-8 nvidia-open

I tried update from an existing Ubuntu installation with an older CUDA and driver version and it resulted in a non-startable system.

If you are using PyTorch 2.6 with built CUDA 12.6 it will result in:

NVIDIA Graphics Device with CUDA capability sm_120 is not compatible with the current PyTorch installation.
The current PyTorch install supports CUDA capabilities sm_50 sm_60 sm_70 sm_75 sm_80 sm_86 sm_90.

But no worries! For PyTorch you need just to use a nightly 2.7 version that was built with CUDA 12.8. This can easily done via:

pip install --pre torch --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/nightly/cu128

After that the latest Flair version can be installed and fine-tuning will work!
