Research direction

Inspect the cuda-oxide flake input configuration and the README statement requiring CUDA 13.X. Reproduce the reported version lookup in nix repl, then update the input if appropriate and verify that it resolves to a CUDA 13.X toolkit.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I used cuda-oxide as input to my flake, then loaded it to the repl:

nix-repl> :lf .
Added 13 variables.
_type, devShells, dirtyRev, dirtyShortRev, inputs, lastModified, lastModifiedDate, narHash, outPath, outputs, packages, sourceInfo, submodules

nix-repl> inputs.cuda-oxide.inputs.nixpkgs.legacyPackages.x86_64-linux.cudaPackages.cudaMajorMinorVersion
"12.9"

nix-repl>

I defined my inputs like so:

inputs = {
   cuda-oxide.url = "github:NVlabs/cuda-rust?dir=cuda-oxide";
};

The readme says we need cuda 13.X so maybe its worth updating the nixpkgs input to a rev that uses version 13.X of the toolkit?
