Does submission docker need to support macos in the toml workspace?
Can you drop osx-arm64 from your conda workspace without breaking the evaluation pipeline?
Deep Dive
A participant on May 5, 2026, asks if removing "osx-arm64" from the workspace.toml (which lists platforms = ["linux-64", "osx-arm64"]) for the AI for Industry Challenge would cause the Docker submission to fail evaluation.
Key Points
- The workspace.toml currently has platforms = ['linux-64', 'osx-arm64']; removing osx-arm64 may cause evaluation failure if macOS-specific dependencies are needed.
- Related topics show ongoing confusion about system architecture requirements for the AI for Industry Challenge (e.g., Docker-OSX, Apple Silicon support).
- Keeping all platforms ensures reproducibility and avoids breaking the evaluation pipeline, even if the submission runs on Linux.
Why It Matters
Ensuring cross-platform compatibility in Docker submissions prevents unexpected evaluation failures and saves debugging time.
