**Describe the bug** Nemo ASR requires `numpy<2.0`: ``` AttributeError: `np.sctypes` was removed in the NumPy 2.0 release. Access dtypes explicitly instead. ``` This breaks python 3.13 environments as well as numerous incompatibilities with other packages. **Steps/Code to reproduce bug** `uv add -U nemo_toolkit['asr']` ```python class NemoTranscriptionUDF: def __init__( self, model_name: str = model_name, batch_size: int = batch_size, device: str = "cuda", ): from nemo.collections.asr.models import ASRModel self.asr_ast_model = ASRModel.from_pretrained( model_name=model_name ) self.device = device self.batch_size = batch_size def __call__(self, audios): with torch.inference_mode(): outputs = self.asr_ast_model.transcribe(audios.to_pylist(), batch_size=self.batch_size) return [output[0].text for output in outputs] ``` **Expected behavior** Transcribe content and do not need to have older numpy versions.
