Fail to install pytorch (cpu) on MacOS intel chip

Hi thanks for the tool! However I cannot do it and here are my attempts:

[project]
name = "project"
version = "0.1.0"
dependencies = [
  "torch==2.1.2 ; platform_system != 'Windows'",
]

(base) ➜  hello_uv git:(main) ✗ uv sync            
warning: No `requires-python` value found in the workspace. Defaulting to `>=3.11`.
  × No solution found when resolving dependencies for split (platform_system == 'Windows'):
  ╰─▶ Because there is no version of torch{platform_system == 'Windows'}==2.1.2+cu121 and your project depends on
      torch{platform_system == 'Windows'}==2.1.2+cu121, we can conclude that your project's requirements are unsatisfiable.

Try: uv add torch<2.3.0
Starting from PyTorch 2.3.0, the minimum requirement for macOS is macOS 11.0+ ARM64.
Therefore, you are restricted to installing PyTorch versions prior to 2.3.0.

Oh I see, thank you so much!

@charliermarsh Is it normal to install for a PyTorch 2.5.0 wheel that wasn't built for Intel (x86-64) macOS?

The documentation states that macOS (x86_64) is supported, so UV should run correctly on that device. Otherwise, the documentation should be downgraded it.

uv/docs/reference/platforms.md

Lines 1 to 8 in 7d883fc

	# Platform support
	uv has Tier 1 support for the following platforms:
	- macOS (Apple Silicon)
	- macOS (x86_64)
	- Linux (x86_64)
	- Windows (x86_64)
