I am working on an NLP Web API in Python. The project works fine on my Windows machine, but I am getting the above error when I try running it on my Rasperry Pi 4. These errors seem to come from 'blis', but the problem was supposedly fixed according to an issue report in 2019 #3451. That doesn't seem to be the case however.

We recently had a similar question about a Jetson Nano, which I think has similar hardware. v3 should just work for CPU usage on ARM64, though you might need to use conda. Can you try conda, or is upgrading to v3 an option for you?

There are also several more recent threads about running on raspberry pis, like this one, that may be able to help you.

Actually, I did try installing spacy==3.0.0, but it doesn't work either.
