Values marked our reading are our classification of what the source says — the source does not print them in those words. The quote below is the evidence for each one; judge it yourself.
What the source says
CUDA build and cuDNN version
The source prints these values inside the passage below but does not name them there. The passage shows where each one appears; what ties them to this record is the position on the page, not anything the passage says.
| 2.6 | >=3.9, <=3.13, (3.13t experimental) | C++17 | CUDA 11.8, CUDA 12.4 (CUDNN 9.1.0.70) | CUDA 12.6 (CUDNN 9.5.1.17) | ROCm 6.2.4 |
