GPU Acceleration
Do not add ONNX Runtime packages (Microsoft.ML.OnnxRuntime*): LMSupply provisions the runtime itself, and a
second copy conflicts with it. ExecutionProvider.Auto uses CUDA when the CUDA 12 runtime and cuDNN 9 are
installed on the machine, CoreML on macOS, and the CPU otherwise. On Windows with an AMD or Intel GPU, ONNX
sessions run on the CPU (DirectML was removed in 0.67.0). See
GPU acceleration.
