Rasa 3.x version is taking too long to train

Hi,

I am using Rasa’s latest version 3.0.4 on Apple M1 Mac. The time it takes for training is too long. Each time I make some minor changes in nlu or core rasa files, it takes 4-5 hours of training which is not acceptable. However, this issue didn’t occurred when I used Rasa version < 3.0 in my Intel chip Mac. Please help me in getting this issue resolved.

Here is my config.yml file. It’s the default one when we create a new rasa project.

Team, Please reply and provide a solution.

How does the training time compare on x86?

It takes nearly 10-15 minutes to train on x86

I saw 4x times longer for some of my bots.
