I use conda because it’s the default way to install PyTorch. That’s pretty much it. Pretty sure any NumPy install should use reasonable BLAS nowadays but I believe conda includes Intel MKL which maybe makes a difference. Every couple months I nuke all my environments and my install and start fresh out of general frustration. It’s still the least bad for a scientific workflow IMO (having different environments but all globally accessible rather than stuck in specific directories is nice).
