viable/strict/1770449260: [BE] Remove duplicate typing-extension from requirements (#174490)

A simple duplicate line in a key file was breaking installations for the popular AI framework.

Deep Dive

Developers of the PyTorch AI framework fixed an installation bug caused by a duplicate entry for the 'typing-extensions' software library. The duplicate in the requirements file caused a 'Double requirement' error when users tried to install PyTorch. The fix involved removing the redundant line and updating the version specification in a related file. This ensures a smoother setup process for millions of developers and researchers who rely on the tool.

Why It Matters

Smooth installation is critical for developers and researchers to quickly build and test AI models without technical hurdles.
