Description
https://github.com/simonw/llm/blob/d075336c6900768b664277a7ca7c76a79de9a0cf/docs/setup.md#L38-L40
This is no longer true. PyTorch can be installed in Python 3.12 now, even though it isn't fully supported yet according to:
- https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/releases/tag/v2.3.0
- https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/issues/120233
It sounds like full support is for 3.12 is coming in PyTorch 2.4.
There's another tracking ticket for Python 3.13 support here:

Research direction
Start with docs/setup.md lines 38-40 and compare the warning with the linked PyTorch 2.3.0 release and tracking issues. Update the documentation so its Python 3.12 and PyTorch status is accurate, then verify the setup instructions no longer contain the outdated warning.
