I'll admit I don't know enough about PyTorch to know what torch.compile is exactly. But does this means some features of PyTorch will no longer be available in the core C++ library? One of the nice things about PyTorch had been that you could do your training in Python then deploy with a pure C++ application.

From what I see, still no 3.11 support — Same for Tensorflow which won't ship before Q1 23.

It's not a huge deal, as the speed improvements in 3.11 likely wouldn't trickle down at the core PyTorch level.

How about just calling it PyTorch 1.14 if it's backward compatible? Version numbering shouldn't be used as a marketing gimmick.

Is this really the biggest problem that needs to be solved in AI?

Quite the non sequitur you have there.
