Implements the method from "Embarrassingly Simple Self-Distillation Improves Code Generation" (Zhang et al., 2026): sample completions from the model at a training-time temperature and truncation, then fine-tune on those raw, unverified samples with standard cross-entropy loss. No reward model, verifier, teacher, or RL needed. The dataset only requires a ``prompt`` column containing coding problem prompts. Example: ```bash python examples/scripts/ssd.py \ --model_name_or_path Qwen/Qwen3-4B-Instruct-2507 \ --dataset_name microsoft/rStar-Coder \ --dataset_config seed_sft \ --prompt_column question \ --output_dir outputs/ssd-qwen3-4b \ --per_device_train_batch_size 1 \ --gradient_accumulation_steps 32 \ --learning_rate 5e-6 \ --lr_scheduler_type cosine \ --max_prompt_length 1024 \ --max_completion_length 65536 \ --temperature 1.6 \ --top_k 20 \ --top_p 0.8 \ --num_train_epochs 1 \ --bf16 \ --report_to trackio ``` """ from dataclasses import dataclass, field import torch from datasets import DatasetDict, load_dataset, load_from_disk from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer from trl import ( ModelConfig, ScriptArguments, TrlParser, get_kbit_device_map, get_peft_config, get_quantization_config, ) from trl.experimental.ssd import SSDConfig, SSDTrainer @dataclass class SSDScriptArguments(ScriptArguments): dataset_path: str | None = field( default=None, metadata={"help": "Optional local dataset path to load with `load_from_disk`.
