Mac M2 using turicreate module: zsh: illegal hardware instruction error. Help, I've been working on it for 2 weeks and still haven't solved it

I use : Mac 2022 M2 MacBook

Python : 3.6.3

This is my code

import turicreate as tc
image_folder = 'image1/test'
data = tc.image_analysis.load_images(image_folder, with_path=True)
data['label'] = data['path'].apply (lambda path: 'D_4015' if 'D_4015' in path   else 'DB_013')
data.save('diller.sframe')
train_data, test_data = data.random_split(0.8, seed=2)
model = tc.image_classifier.create(train_data, target='label')
predictions = model.predict(test_data)
metrics = model.evaluate(test_data)
model.export_coreml('diller.mlmodel')

bug code

zsh: illegal hardware instruction  /Users/kunhua/Documents/python/demo_turicreate/venv/bin/python

How can I solve this problem?

This is turicreate gituhub website:

https://github.com/apple/turicreate

I don't understand why Apple's code can't be used on Apple computers

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.6

For as long as we have been using complier-code (not just hand coded assembly-language) illegal instructions are vanishingly un-likely to be generated, and even less likely to be executed.

The cause of illegal instruction execution from compiler code is almost always Hardware -- RAM memory errors.

MacOS slightly randomizes the load point of major modules at each Restart.

If your problem is either fixed or changed by a Restart, that SUPPORTS the suggestion that this is a RAM memory error.

Python 3.6.3 is quite old, with 3.10.8 as current.

Here is the current Python kit: https://www.python.org/downloads/macos/

If updating Python does not address this, stop back here.

While this may be a Turicreate error, or some other cause, first guess is probably an error that gets fixed in a newer Python.

On the Github page, it states:

Turi Create requires:

• Python 2.7, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8

• x86_64 architecture

• At least 4 GB of RAM

And the project doesn't seem to be active anymore.

This kind of code isn't a standalone app like you might download. I checked the issues on GitHub and apparently it doesn't support Apple Silicon at all. If you can get it to work, you may have to run an x86 version of Python via Rosetta. Even then, it probably isn't going to have GPU support. It's going to be very slow. I recommend you find some other solution. This one is a dead end.

The PyPy turicreate system requirements are Python 3.7 for macOS with turicreate v6.4.1 — in addition to what etresoft has posted already. This is not a hunting dog with older Python versions… or Apple Silicon.

You need to move to the Developers forum.
