From @Chillee on Slack:
[TorchScript] is not deprecated. We are not actively developing torchscript, but it will be supported for the foreseeable future, and you’ll be able to use torchscript based backends behind dynamo. We currently have no plans on making torchinductor consume torchscript graphs. We are working on making the kernels it generates exportable to C++, but since the compiler is in Python (and so is much of Triton), I’m not sure there’s that much advantage to making it take in torchscript graphs.
