Description

We have some limited support for PyTorch and coming up MLX, which are at a stage where they don't yet integrate well enough with PyTensor in general.

I suggest we create a separate package pytensor-backends for these. That way development stays more focused and we don't need to test for every PR to main. User experience would still be similar, except when they do pytensor.function(..., mode="PYTORCH") we try to import the pytensor-backends library and if missing tell user to go about installing it (together with the backend library).
