Request for Updating Torch Version and Future Development Plans

### 🚀 The feature, motivation and pitch

Hi,

I am writing to inquire about the possibility of updating the `torch` version used in this repository. The current version seems to be outdated, and an update would greatly benefit the users by providing access to the latest features and improvements.

Additionally, I have noticed that this repository has not been very active recently. Could you please share any plans for future development or maintenance? Understanding the roadmap would help the community to align their expectations and possibly contribute to the project.

Thank you for your time and efforts.
