Summary

  • Update the Pre-Requisites & Support Matrix platform summary and Software Requirements to state that macOS Intel (x86_64) is not supported for PyPI installs (Ray >=2.56.1 has no Intel Mac wheels), while Apple Silicon (arm64) remains supported for slim remote/NIM-only installs alongside Windows x64.
  • Align the package README Remote NIM install line with the same platform set.

Context

Team decision (Slack): abandon Intel Mac support so Ray can move to 2.56+ for CVE remediation. Eng change is in #2440 (removes macos-26-intel CI and bumps Ray). Randy asked for changelog + install-guide notes. Changelog language is in draft #2434.

Merge coordination

Test plan

  • Confirm wording matches Fix CVE pkgs #2440 Ray pin and CI matrix (arm64 only on macOS)
  • Spot-check support matrix Platform summary + Software Requirements
  • Spot-check README Remote NIM bullet
  • No remaining "macOS x64/ARM64" or unqualified macOS support claims in these two files

Align the support matrix and package README with Ray >=2.56.1, which
no longer publishes Intel Mac wheels. Apple Silicon remains supported.

Greptile Summary

The PR consistently documents that PyPI installs support Apple Silicon but not Intel macOS because current Ray releases provide no Intel Mac wheels.

  • Qualifies macOS support in the getting-started guide.
  • Updates the support matrix and software requirements.
  • Aligns the package README’s Remote NIM platform guidance.

Confidence Score: 5/5

The PR appears safe to merge.

No blocking failure remains.

nemo_retriever/README.md The Remote NIM quick-start guidance now identifies Apple Silicon as the supported macOS architecture.
