JAX CI BROKEN BY PYTHON 3.13 VERSION STRING PARSING

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Google

JAX's build scripts are crashing on Python 3.13-ft to 3.13t conversions, and the fix is live now.

The JAX team deployed a defensive patch [1] that stops the version string conversion from tanking CI pipelines when Python 3.13-ft gets parsed as 3.13t. This isn't a permanent solution - the long-term play is to standardize on 3.13t everywhere - but it unblocks your builds immediately. In parallel, the team updated XLA dependencies [2] to the latest revision, so you're pulling in the latest upstream optimizations alongside the CI fix. No breaking changes here, just infrastructure stabilization.
