faiss-gpu is not supported anymore, and the source packages are removed from the PyPI. Please use the faiss-cpu source package to support GPUs.

[calypset]

If faiss-gpu is not supported anymore, is there any way to install faiss-cpu with cuda gpu support on windows? (sorry to open again with this question)

[kyamagu]

@calypset Check the official instruction. There has never been windows GPU support in the PyPI package
