class PretrainedConfig(object):
    r"""
    Base class for all configuration classes. Handles a few parameters common to all models' configurations as well as
    methods for loading/downloading/saving configurations.

    Note: A configuration file can be loaded and saved to disk. Loading the configuration file and using this file to
    initialize a model does **not** load the model weights. It only affects the model's configuration.

    Class attributes (overridden by derived classes)

        - **model_type** (:obj:`str`): An identifier for the model type, serialized into the JSON file, and used to
          recreate the correct object in :class:`~transformers.AutoConfig`.
        - **is_composition** (:obj:`bool`): Whether the config class is composed of multiple sub-configs. In this case
          the config has to be initialized from two or more configs of type :class:`~transformers.PretrainedConfig`
          like: :class:`~transformers.EncoderDecoderConfig` or :class:`~RagConfig`.
        - **keys_to_ignore_at_inference** (:obj:`List[str]`): A list of keys to ignore by default when looking at
          dictionary outputs of the model during inference.

    Args:
        name_or_path (:obj:`str`, `optional`, defaults to :obj:`""`):
            Store the string that was passed to :func:`~transformers.PreTrainedModel.from_pretrained` or
            :func:`~transformers.TFPreTrainedModel.from_pretrained` as ``pretrained_model_name_or_path`` if the
            configuration was created with such a method.
        output_hidden_states (:obj:`bool`, `optional`, defaults to :obj:`False`):
            Whether or not the model should return all hidden-states.
        output_attentions (:obj:`bool`, `optional`, defaults to :obj:`False`):
            Whether or not the model should returns all attentions.
        return_dict (:obj:`bool`, `optional`, defaults to :obj:`True`):
            Whether or not the model should return a :class:`~transformers.file_utils.ModelOutput` instead of a plain
            tuple.
        is_encoder_decoder (:obj:`bool`, `optional`, defaults to :obj:`False`):
            Whether the model is used as an encoder/decoder or not.
        is_decoder (:obj:`bool`, `optional`, defaults to :obj:`False`):
            Whether the model is used as decoder or not (in which case it's used as an encoder).
        add_cross_attention (:obj:`bool`, `optional`, defaults to :obj:`False`):
            Whether cross-attention layers should be added to the model. Note, this option is only relevant for models
            that can be used as decoder models within the `:class:~transformers.EncoderDecoderModel` class, which
            consists of all models in ``AUTO_MODELS_FOR_CAUSAL_LM``.
        tie_encoder_decoder (:obj:`bool`, `optional`, defaults to :obj:`False`)
            Whether all encoder weights should be tied to their equivalent decoder weights. This requires the encoder
            and decoder model to have the exact same parameter names.
        prune_heads (:obj:`Dict[int, List[int]]`, `optional`, defaults to :obj:`{}`):
            Pruned heads of the model. The keys are the selected layer indices and the associated values, the list of
            heads to prune in said layer.

            For instance ``{1: [0, 2], 2: [2, 3]}`` will prune heads 0 and 2 on layer 1 and heads 2 and 3 on layer 2.
        xla_device (:obj:`bool`, `optional`):
            A flag to indicate if TPU are available or not.
        chunk_size_feed_forward (:obj:`int`, `optional`, defaults to :obj:`0`):
            The chunk size of all feed forward layers in the residual attention blocks. A chunk size of :obj:`0` means
            that the feed forward layer is not chunked. A chunk size of n means that the feed forward layer processes
            :obj:`n` < sequence_length embeddings at a time. For more information on feed forward chunking, see `How
            does Feed Forward Chunking work? <../glossary.html#feed-forward-chunking>`__ .

        - **num_beams** (:obj:`int`, `optional`, defaults to 1) -- Number of beams for beam search that will be used by

          beam search. that will be used by default in the :obj:`generate` method of the model. 0 means no diversity
          penalty. The higher the penalty, the more diverse are the outputs.
        - **temperature** (:obj:`float`, `optional`, defaults to 1) -- The value used to module the next token

          :obj:`generate` method of the model for ``top_p``. If set to float < 1, only the most probable tokens with
          probabilities that add up to ``top_p`` or higher are kept for generation.
        - **repetition_penalty** (:obj:`float`, `optional`, defaults to 1) -- Parameter for repetition penalty that
          will be used by default in the :obj:`generate` method of the model. 1.0 means no penalty.

          be used by default in the :obj:`generate` method of the model.

                This can be either:

                - a string, the `model id` of a pretrained model configuration hosted inside a model repo on
                  huggingface.co. Valid model ids can be located at the root-level, like ``bert-base-uncased``, or

                - a path or url to a saved configuration JSON `file`, e.g.,
                  ``./my_model_directory/configuration.json``.
            cache_dir (:obj:`str` or :obj:`os.PathLike`, `optional`):
                Path to a directory in which a downloaded pretrained model configuration should be cached if the
                standard cache should not be used.
            force_download (:obj:`bool`, `optional`, defaults to :obj:`False`):
                Whether or not to force to (re-)download the configuration files and override the cached versions if
                they exist.
            resume_download (:obj:`bool`, `optional`, defaults to :obj:`False`):
                Whether or not to delete incompletely received file. Attempts to resume the download if such a file
                exists.
            proxies (:obj:`Dict[str, str]`, `optional`):
                A dictionary of proxy servers to use by protocol or endpoint, e.g., :obj:`{'http': 'foo.bar:3128',
                'http://hostname': 'foo.bar:4012'}.` The proxies are used on each request.
            use_auth_token (:obj:`str` or `bool`, `optional`):
                The token to use as HTTP bearer authorization for remote files. If :obj:`True`, will use the token
                generated when running :obj:`transformers-cli login` (stored in :obj:`~/.huggingface`).
            revision(:obj:`str`, `optional`, defaults to :obj:`"main"`):
                The specific model version to use. It can be a branch name, a tag name, or a commit id, since we use a
                git-based system for storing models and other artifacts on huggingface.co, so ``revision`` can be any
                identifier allowed by git.
            return_unused_kwargs (:obj:`bool`, `optional`, defaults to :obj:`False`):
                If :obj:`False`, then this function returns just the final configuration object.

                If :obj:`True`, then this functions returns a :obj:`Tuple(config, unused_kwargs)` where `unused_kwargs`
                is a dictionary consisting of the key/value pairs whose keys are not configuration attributes: i.e.,
                the part of ``kwargs`` which has not been used to update ``config`` and is otherwise ignored.
            kwargs (:obj:`Dict[str, Any]`, `optional`):
                The values in kwargs of any keys which are configuration attributes will be used to override the loaded
                values. Behavior concerning key/value pairs whose keys are *not* configuration attributes is controlled
                by the ``return_unused_kwargs`` keyword parameter.

        .. note::

            Passing :obj:`use_auth_token=True` is required when you want to use a private model.


        Returns:
            :class:`PretrainedConfig`: The configuration object instantiated from this pretrained model.

        Examples::

            # We can't instantiate directly the base class `PretrainedConfig` so let's show the examples on a
            # derived class: BertConfig
            config = BertConfig.from_pretrained('bert-base-uncased')    # Download configuration from huggingface.co and cache.
