Cause (Documented platform behavior): These GPUs/drivers cannot use NCCL P2P/IB; accelerate launch sets the env vars automatically.

Problem details
- Observed symptom
- Accelerator() raises on startup (instead of an NCCL hang).
- Context
- Product: Hugging Face Accelerate Component: PartialState NCCL init Operation: Multi-GPU training with python/torchrun (not accelerate launch) on RTX 40xx on older drivers Affected versions: unknown Environment: unknown Exception: NotImplementedError Packages: accelerate main at pinned SHA Trigger: check_cuda_p2p_ib_support() is false and NCCL_P2P_DISABLE/NCCL_IB_DISABLE are not set.

solution · Revision 1
Proposed fix: [Accelerate] Consumer GPUs: "Using RTX 4000 series doesn't support faster communication broadband via P2P or IB. Please set NCCL_P2P_DISABLE=1 and NCCL_IB_DISABLE=1"
Recommended action: Use `accelerate launch`, or export NCCL_P2P_DISABLE=1 and NCCL_IB_DISABLE=1 before starting.
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
