So looks as simple as the version of numpy is quite old for the version of Tensor Flow. Whilst in the miniconda environment one just needs to run the following to get the right dependency: python -m pip install numpy --upgrade

I am also experiencing the same problem following exactly the same instructions. The snipped bit of traceback in addition to the OP is as follows: Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/Users/matt/miniconda/lib/python3.10/site-packages/tensorflow/__init__.py", line 37, in <module> from tensorflow.python.tools import module_util as _module_util File "/Users/matt/miniconda/lib/python3.10/site-packages/tensorflow/python/__init__.py", line 42, in <module> from tensorflow.python import data File "/Users/matt/miniconda/lib/python3.10/site-packages/tensorflow/python/data/__init__.py", line 21, in <module> from tensorflow.python.data import experimental File "/Users/matt/miniconda/lib/python3.10/site-packages/tensorflow/python/data/experimental/__init__.py", line 96, in <module> from tensorflow.python.data.experimental import service File "/Users/matt/miniconda/lib/python3.10/site-packages/tensorflow/python/data/experimental/service/__init__.py", line 419, in <module> from tensorflow.python.data.experimental.ops.data_service_ops import distribute File "/Users/matt/miniconda/lib/python3.10/site-packages/tensorflow/python/data/experimental/ops/data_service_ops.py", line 22, in <module> from tensorflow.python.data.experimental.ops import compression_ops File "/Users/matt/miniconda/lib/python3.10/site-packages/tensorflow/python/data/experimental/ops/compression_ops.py", line 16, in <module> from tensorflow.python.data.util import structure File "/Users/matt/miniconda/lib/python3.10/site-packages/tensorflow/python/data/util/structure.py", line 22, in <module> from tensorflow.python.data.util import nest File "/Users/matt/miniconda/lib/python3.10/site-packages/tensorflow/python/data/util/nest.py", line 34, in <module> from tensorflow.python.framework import sparse_tensor as _sparse_tensor File "/Users/matt/miniconda/lib/python3.10/site-packages/tensorflow/python/framework/sparse_tensor.py", line 24, in <module> from tensorflow.python.framework import constant_op File "/Users/matt/miniconda/lib/python3.10/site-packages/tensorflow/python/framework/constant_op.py", line 25, in <module> from tensorflow.python.eager import execute File "/Users/matt/miniconda/lib/python3.10/site-packages/tensorflow/python/eager/execute.py", line 21, in <module> from tensorflow.python.framework import dtypes File "/Users/matt/miniconda/lib/python3.10/site-packages/tensorflow/python/framework/dtypes.py", line 34, in <module> _np_bfloat16 = _pywrap_bfloat16.TF_bfloat16_type() TypeError: Unable to convert function return value to a Python type!
