What is the difference between Tensor and tensor? Is Tensor going to be deprecated in the future?

It looks like the torch.tensor is better than torch.Tensor when realize the same function?

I found a case to use Tensor rather than tensor:

torch.Tensor with int / float

In[] : 1/torch.Tensor([1,2,3])
Out[]: tensor([ 1.0000,  0.5000,  0.3333])

torch.tensor with int

In[] : 1/torch.tensor([1,2,3])
