Should I still install tensorflow-cpu instead of tensorflow package after 2.11 or above?

Tensorflow 2.11 release note says that both tensorflow and tensorflow-cpu will install same tensorflow-intel package. So can I use directml plugin with tensorflow package? or still need to install tensorflow-cpu package?

Thanks.

Yes, after tensorflow 2.11 you will be able to install the tensorflow package on Windows to use tensorflow-directml-plugin, but it will be the same as using tensorflow-cpu. Note that WSL will still need the tensorflow-cpu package, therefore tensorflow-cpu will stay as a required dependency for the tensorflow-directml-plugin for simplicity purposes.

Okay, Thanks.
