Unhandled exception. System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'Tensorflow.Binding' threw an exception.
 ---> Tensorflow.RuntimeError: Tensorflow.NET cannot find a backend. Please install one of the following packages for your program: SciSharp.TensorFlow.Redist, SciSharp.TensorFlow.Redist-Linux-GPU, SciSharp.TensorFlow.Redist-Windows-GPU.

Reproduction Steps

create new console app with net8.0 runtime

csproj should look as such

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">

    <PropertyGroup>
        <OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
        <TargetFramework>net8.0</TargetFramework>
        <ImplicitUsings>enable</ImplicitUsings>
        <Nullable>enable</Nullable>
    </PropertyGroup>

    <ItemGroup>
        <PackageReference Include="SciSharp.TensorFlow.Redist" Version="2.16.0" />
        <PackageReference Include="TensorFlow.Keras" Version="0.15.0" />
        <PackageReference Include="TensorFlow.NET" Version="0.150.0" />
    </ItemGroup>

</Project>

paste this into Program.cs:

using static Tensorflow.Binding;

var t = tf;

run project, the exception would be thrown
