Well, that seemed to be what was needed. I ended up getting an Ubuntu 16.04 Tensorflow build image (Debian does not work) and has to configure Bazel to build on that server directly with no GPU instructions. Using many pre-compiled wheels also was problematic as a particular version of gcc is required. So yes…compile from source (not fun). So better check the VM ahead of time, as this is one place where Docker trips up - specifically for TensorFlow’s need for AVX2 and SSE4.2. Don’t think this problem occurs with Spacy though. Thanks
