Description

https://github.com/Lightning-AI/lightning-thunder/issues/2803 shows how changes in PyTorch autograd internals are causing errors in Thunder. Currently, there's a temporary patch to progress the CI: https://github.com/Lightning-AI/lightning-thunder/pull/2805.

These xfails must be removed once the autograd issues are resolved.
