One thing though, I build latest from the repo and the AI settings says CPU only. But I have an Nvidia card and it is working in DT.

GPU acceleration for AI features uses another technology from basic darktable GPU acceleration for image processing. I posted about it here:

GPU acceleration for AI features in Darktable - help needed testing install scripts

PR #20676 adds a streamlined way to install GPU-accelerated ONNX Runtime for darktable’s AI features (object masks, neural denoise, upscale). I need help from the community testing this on different hardware and platforms. What darktable bundles darktable ships with a CPU-only ONNX Runtime that works out of the box – no extra install needed. On macOS (Apple Silicon), CoreML acceleration is also bundled by default. On Windows, DirectML GPU acceleration is bundled and works with any DirectX 12 GP…

That initial PR was split into separate manageable parts and command line scripts were merged into master branch today. You can use script to install GPU acceleration for AI features.
