The statement that uv is "pre-installed on all SkyPilot clusters" is not entirely accurate. Based on the setup templates, uv is not installed on local clusters (i.e., clusters with provider: local). To avoid user confusion, it would be more precise to state that uv is pre-installed on all SkyPilot cloud clusters.

Suggested change
`uv <https://docs.astral.sh/uv/>`_, the fast Python package installer, is **pre-installed on all SkyPilot clusters**.
`uv <https://docs.astral.sh/uv/>`_, the fast Python package installer, is **pre-installed on all SkyPilot cloud clusters**.

You can use it in your ``setup`` commands for faster package installation:

.. code-block:: yaml

setup: |
uv pip install -r requirements.txt

Or create a virtual environment and install packages:

.. code-block:: yaml

setup: |
uv venv ~/myenv
source ~/myenv/bin/activate
uv pip install torch torchvision

.. _yaml-spec-run:

``run``
