Thank you for your report.

Yes, the CI builder generating the binaries is an intel mac. This is a compatibility choice, to enable the use of our binaries by every one.
To use them on a arm64 you need to install Rosetta on your mac to run x86 libraries. But it will not run at full speed because of the compatibility layer. To have optimized binaries for your architecture, you'll need to compile them yourself.
