LGTM. Out of curiousity. If I run two experiments with different max_length (and hence different packed dataset sizes), will both packed datasets be cached independently, so future exps will reuse the correct cached dataset, or does caching one overwrite the other?

will both packed datasets be cached independently

Yes!

from trl import SFTConfig, SFTTrainer
from datasets import load_dataset

dataset = load_dataset("trl-lib/Capybara", split="train[:10%]")

# Processes the dataset
training_args = SFTConfig(output_dir="Qwen/Qwen2.5-0.5B-SFT", max_length=128, packing=True)
trainer = SFTTrainer(
    args=training_args,
    model="Qwen/Qwen2.5-0.5B",
    train_dataset=dataset,
)

# Processes the dataset as well 
training_args = SFTConfig(output_dir="Qwen/Qwen2.5-0.5B-SFT", max_length=256, packing=True)
trainer = SFTTrainer(
    args=training_args,
    model="Qwen/Qwen2.5-0.5B",
    train_dataset=dataset,
)

# Uses the cache!
training_args = SFTConfig(output_dir="Qwen/Qwen2.5-0.5B-SFT", max_length=128, packing=True)
trainer = SFTTrainer(
    args=training_args,
    model="Qwen/Qwen2.5-0.5B",
    train_dataset=dataset,
)
