Research direction
Open the Getting Started with Distributed Data Parallel tutorial at docs.pytorch.org/tutorials/intermediate/ddp_tutorial.html and inspect its use of torch.accelerator. Check that reference against PyTorch 2.5.1+cu124, then update the tutorial so the documented API exists for that version and verify the page remains internally consistent.
