Description
The nightly builds for Python 3.13t are now enabled in Linux, Linux aarch64, MacOS and Windows:
https://hud.pytorch.org/hud/pytorch/vision/nightly/1?per_page=50&name_filter=3_13t
We would like to:
- audit trochvision code for thread safety
- perform parallel testing and identify failures
- Work on fixing these failures
