💡 [REQUEST] - Update tutorials with device-generic APIs

[albanD]

🚀 Describe the improvement or the new tutorial

We should use the latest device-generic APIs when they come out in 2.6 in all tutorials to improve readability.

Existing tutorials on this topic

https://pytorch.org/tutorials/beginner/basics/buildmodel_tutorial is an example of one we should update. There is most likely more.

Additional context

cc @guangyey that might be a good follow up to consider before 2.6

I am delighted to take on this task. I couldn't self-assign, please assign it to me.

I'd love to contribute as well, but do we have a list of which APIs should be replaced and with what?

Just a note from a user-perspective: It's very confusing to have the tutorials updated before the features are actually available.
I installed Pytorch yesterday, in order to try out https://pytorch.org/tutorials/beginner/transfer_learning_tutorial.html. By chance, this happened to be directly after the documentation was updated, I suppose.

Anyway, pip gave me torch 2.5.1, which means that the tutorial code doesn't actually work for me. And the problem isn't google-able, since it's so new, and the documentation doesn't hint at this 2.6 version requirement either. I only found this explanation, because I happened to look the tutorial page up on GitHub, where I noticed this very recent commit.
