Install PyTorch with CUDA 12.8 support first:

# Install PyTorch with CUDA 12.8 (required for RTX 50 series)
pip install torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu128

# Then install deforum-flux
pip install deforum-flux

# Optional: For TensorRT acceleration
pip install deforum-flux[tensorrt]

Note: RTX 50 series cards require CUDA 12.8.
