Method new()

Returns

This method returns nothing.

---

sustain_track

bool If TRUE energy consumption is tracked during training via the python library 'codecarbon'.

sustain_iso_code

bool

• TRUE: a 'pytorch' model is saved in safetensors format.

• FALSE (or 'safetensors' is not available): model is saved in the standard pytorch format (.bin).
