r"""Example of Gemma finetuning for a prompt -> response task.

This is a fork of the seq2seq example, but with sharding.
The only difference is the `sharding=kd.sharding.ShardingStrategy()`

Train locally with:

```sh
python -m kauldron.main \
    --cfg=examples/sharding.py \
    --cfg.workdir=/tmp/kauldron_oss/workdir
```
