Description

Currently I can find amd64 images available. However, training on aarch64 clusters seems tricky, and building xformers from source can be annoying. An aarch64 image would be appreciated for convenience.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how to set up multi arch Docker builds, such as using Docker Buildx and QEMU emulation. Look for existing CI configuration in the repository to add aarch64 targets.
