Unable to run python package AIBenchmark on 13 inch m1 MacBook Pro

Question

I got a new m1 MacBook Pro and installed the TensorFlow 2 provided by Apple, and I decided to do some testing for the MacBook, so I installed the python3 package "AIBenchmark", and the process was successful without any error messages. However, when I imported it, the following error message appeared.

Traceback (most recent call last): 
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

How do I solve this problem?

Which TF you had installed? is it the macos fork or which? – Maged Jan 30 '21 at 17:32 — Maged, Jan 30 '21 at 17:32

I'm guessing that since AI Benchmark has not been updated since Dec. 18, 2019, the library is an Intel architecture binary. I don't know the details of the python 3.8 installation via the Xcode Command Line Tools, but I imagine it's a universal binary (both Intel and Apple Arm64 architecture). My guess is that you'll have to run TensorFlow as an Intel binary, so I would try the following in the terminal: precede your command to startup your app with

arch -x86_64

Or, configure Terminal to run under Rosetta2.

Right-click on Terminal in Finder
Get Info
Open with Rosetta

More suggestions here (no, it's not python or TensorFlow related, but yes, it's relevant).
