You grabbed the wrong package—the tiny “pytorch” stub from 2019 is a dead end. Yank it, then run pip install torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cpu (swap cpu for your CUDA tag) and itll work That python313.dll pop‑up means you’re on the bleeding‑edge Python 3.13, and PyTorch hasn’t built wheels for it yet. start a fresh venv with Python 3.12 and it will install.
