Can't install PyTorch in venv p3.14 os15.6.1

Mac OS X

Hello!
I am hoping to try SBERT, which requires Torch, but I cannot get Torch to install.
MacOS 15.6.1
M2 Ultra chip
Python 3.14.0 (in a venv).
pip 25.3

When I use that (really nice) table at https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/ to generate the shell command, I get: pip3 install torch torchvision
(So, that’s probably a really good shell command for that, since it’s from the Torch page.)

When I run that (in the venv), I get:
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement torch (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for torch

Sure, there’s lots of results online for those, but nothing has worked so far.
One repeated item, although usually from older posts, is that Torch won’t work with Python > 3.9, but that’s not what the Torch page says.
“NOTE: Latest Stable PyTorch requires Python 3.10 or later”
“It is recommended that you use Python 3.10 - 3.14.”
https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/
I am going to trust the Torch people on that one.

Any help is appreciated! (Because I would really like to use SBERT for a project.)

Wow it appears that using Conda is the answer. I don’t know why, but if it works that’s great! (I had hoped to not use extra stuff, I used Conda once over a decade ago and preferred brew and pip, but it looks a lot more polished currently.) (To be fair, it just appears that the installation worked, I haven’t tested it. However I don’t see any reason to doubt it.)
