[Python] R abortes on MacMini and not on Windows

I want to use the Python versions of TabPFN and AutoGluon via the reticulate package in R. When I run the code on my laptop (Windows), everything works fine. However, as soon as I run the same code on my Mac Mini, the R session crashes. With AutoGluon, it usually happens during prediction, and with TabPFN, it typically occurs when the module is being loaded. (And I really want to use R—for various reasons.)

Maybe someone has experienced similar issues when using macOS vs. Windows and can help me out.

This is the used code:

library(mlr3)
library(mlr3tuning)
library(reticulate)

# tabpfn
tabpfn = import('tabpfn')

set.seed(42)
n = 30
p = 5
X = matrix(rnorm(n * p), ncol = p)
y = sample(0:1, n, replace = TRUE)


py_X = r_to_py(X)
py_y = r_to_py(y)

tabpfn_model = tabpfn$TabPFNClassifier(device = 'cpu')
tabpfn_model$fit(py_X, py_y)

predictions = tabpfn_model$predict(py_X)
r_predictions = py_to_r(predictions)
print(r_predictions)

# autogloun
autogluon = import('autogluon.tabular')

train_data = cbind(X, target = y)
py_train_data = r_to_py(train_data)

predictor = autogluon$TabularPredictor(label = 'target')
predictor$fit(
train_data = py_train_data,
presets = 'best_quality',
time_limit = 30
)

predictions = predictor$predict(py_train_data)
r_predictions = py_to_r(predictions)
print(r_predictions)
