Libtorch

Libtorch zips follow the standard naming on the test channel; confirm exact filenames once the RC1 binaries finish uploading. Representative links (replace cu130 with cu126/cu132 as needed):

Note: Windows libtorch debug zips (libtorch-win-shared-with-deps-debug-*.zip) are deprecated as of 2.12.1 and are no longer produced for 2.13.0. If you need a Windows debug build, build libtorch from source. Please see following post for more details: Important Note: Stop publishing prebuilt Windows libtorch debug binaries
