**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](https://dev-discuss.pytorch.org/t/important-note-stop-publishing-prebuilt-windows-libtorch-debug-binaries/3400)
