Keras Tensor flow CUBLAS_STATUS_NOT_INITIALIZED

I have an older Razer Blade with a 970 NVidia 0 so, not much memory relative to the 10x series.

Was seeing the error in the logs

What it took was a simple insertion of lower level TensorFlow configuration like the following:

Just before you build or load your model:

import tensorflow as tf
from keras.backend.tensorflow_backend import set_session
config = tf.ConfigProto()
config.gpu_options.allow_growth = True  # dynamically grow the memory used on the GPU
config.log_device_placement = True  # to log device placement (on which device the operation ran)
                                    # (nothing gets printed in Jupyter, only if you run it standalone)
sess = tf.Session(config=config)
set_session(sess)  # set this TensorFlow session as the default session for Keras
