hi jacob,

to use gpu in a container, you need a few additional parameters
(assuming you are also using x11):

Toggle quote (1 lines)
> guix shell -CF bash coreutils mesa mesa-utils --expose=/tmp/.X11-unix --expose=$XAUTHORITY --expose=/dev/dri --expose=/etc/udev -E "DISPLAY|XAUTHORITY" -- glxgear
hope it could help.
