I’m just letting you know that I have released LBT 1.10, which does not have the issue with pydantic and queenbee. Taking all of these fixes together, this should solve @Joshua 's original issue.
I also pushed updated versions of installers for LBT 1.6 through 1.9 to Food4Rhino such that, if you install with them, you won’t have to do the extra --force-reinstall.
The --install-rosetta is still necessary for Apple silicon computers and you need to pick the correct OpenStudio installer as you said. But at least I can say the issue with pydantic, queenbee, and cupy-cuda12x are all fixed now. So things should work out of the box as long as you do the correct steps to install the simulation engines.
