When pip installs timm==1.0.7 (from requirements-examples.txt), it's pulling its dependencies from PyPI, and since the PyPI version of timm has a dependency on torch without any version constraints, pip is "upgrading" your nightly torch to the latest stable release from PyPI.
Here's what's happening:
I have torch==2.9.0.dev20250725 (nightly) installed
When pip installs timm, it sees that timm requires torch
Pip finds torch==2.7.1 on PyPI (the latest stable release)
Since 2.9.0.dev20250725 is considered a pre-release version, pip thinks 2.7.1 is "newer" in terms of stable releases
Pip uninstalls the nightly and installs the stable version.
