Description
I have a Debian 13, Python 3.13.5, installed and tested KeyBERT with:
```
root@homeserver ~# python3 -m venv keybertvenv
root@homeserver ~# source keybertvenv/bin/activate
(keybertvenv) root@homeserver ~# pip install keybert
[...]
(keybertvenv) root@homeserver ~# python
Python 3.13.5 (main, Jun 25 2025, 18:55:22) [GCC 14.2.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from keybert import KeyBERT
Illegal instruction
(keybertvenv) root@homeserver ~#
```
So, not only I can't import with above error message, I even get thrown out of the python CLI.
Am I doing something wrong or did I find a bug?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported import in a Debian 13 environment with Python 3.13.5, using a clean virtual environment and the Python CLI. Investigate the crash at `from keybert import KeyBERT`; the issue is done when the cause of the illegal instruction is identified and importing KeyBERT no longer terminates the interpreter or the supported limitation is documented.
