@dataclass
class GKDConfig(SFTConfig):
    """
    Configuration class for [`GKDTrainer`].

    This class includes only the parameters that are specific to GKD training. For a full list of training arguments,
    please refer to the [`~transformers.TrainingArguments`] and [`SFTConfig`] documentation.

    Args:
        temperature (`float`, *optional*, defaults to `0.9`):
            Temperature for sampling. The higher the temperature, the more random the completions.
        lmbda (`float`, *optional*, defaults to `0.5`):
            Lambda parameter that controls the student data fraction (i.e., the proportion of on-policy
            student-generated outputs).
        beta (`float`, *optional*, defaults to `0.5`):
            Interpolation coefficient between `0.0` and `1.0` of the Generalized Jensen-Shannon Divergence loss. When
            beta is `0.0`, the loss is the KL divergence. When beta is `1.0`, the loss is the Inverse KL Divergence.
        max_new_tokens (`int`, *optional*, defaults to `128`):
            Maximum number of tokens to generate per completion.
        teacher_model_name_or_path (`str` or `None`, *optional*, defaults to `None`):
            Model name or path of the teacher model. If `None`, the teacher model will be the same as the model
            being trained.
        teacher_model_init_kwargs (`dict[str, Any]]` or `None`, *optional*, defaults to `None`):
            Keyword arguments to pass to `AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained` when instantiating the teacher model
            from a string.
        disable_dropout (`bool`, *optional*, defaults to `True`):
            Whether to disable dropout in the model.
        seq_kd (`bool`, *optional*, defaults to `False`):
            Seq_kd parameter that controls whether to perform Sequence-Level KD (can be viewed as supervised FT
            on teacher-generated output).
