Dockerfile.runpod CUDA 13.0.1 Update Summary
Date: 2025-10-25 Task: Update Dockerfile.runpod to CUDA 13.0.1 with cuDNN 9 for Runpod compatibility Status: ✅ COMPLETE
Problem Statement
Runpod pod deployment failed with error:
nvidia-container-cli: requirement error: unsatisfied condition: cuda>=13.0
The previous Dockerfile used nvidia/cuda:13.0.0-devel-ubuntu24.04 which attempted to manually install cuDNN 9, but Runpod requires CUDA 13.0+ with proper cuDNN integration.
Solution
Updated Dockerfile.runpod to use the official NVIDIA CUDA 13.0.1 base image with cuDNN 9 pre-installed:
Key Changes
