-    Rebuild for CUDA 12 w/arch + Windows support
-    
-    The transition to CUDA 12 SDK includes new packages for all CUDA libraries and
-    build tools. Notably, the cudatoolkit package no longer exists, and packages
-    should depend directly on the specific CUDA libraries (libcublas, libcusolver,
-    etc) as needed. For an in-depth overview of the changes and to report problems
-    [see this issue]( https://github.com/conda-forge/conda-forge.github.io/issues/1963 ).
-    Please feel free to raise any issues encountered there. Thank you! :pray:
