Solution

  • tensorflow-intel has not been installed, which since you are on windows it should be.

    Please go to https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/issues/75415 and encourage the tensorflow folk to put consistent metadata in all of their wheels so that cross-platform resolvers like poetry and uv can reliably derive accurate information.
