File: pytorch_lightning/callbacks/model_checkpoint.py (Python)

Code before:
            :paramref:`~pytorch_lightning.trainer.trainer.Trainer.default_root_dir` or
            :paramref:`~pytorch_lightning.trainer.trainer.Trainer.weights_save_path` arguments,
            and if the Trainer uses a logger, the path will also contain logger name and version.

        filename: checkpoint filename. Can contain named formatting options to be auto-filled.

            Example::

                # save any arbitrary metrics like `val_loss`, etc. in name
                # saves a file like: my/path/epoch=2-val_loss=0.02-other_metric=0.03.ckpt
                >>> checkpoint_callback = ModelCheckpoint(
                ...     dirpath='my/path',
                ...     filename='{epoch}-{val_loss:.2f}-{other_metric:.2f}'
                ... )

            By default, filename is ``None`` and will be set to ``'{epoch}-{step}'``.
        monitor: quantity to monitor. By default it is ``None`` which saves a checkpoint only for the last epoch.
        verbose: verbosity mode. Default: ``False``.
        save_last: When ``True``, always saves the model at the end of the epoch to
            a file `last.ckpt`. Default: ``None``.
        save_top_k: if ``save_top_k == k``,
            the best k models according to
            the quantity monitored will be saved.
            if ``save_top_k == 0``, no models are saved.
            if ``save_top_k == -1``, all models are saved.
            Please note that the monitors are checked every `period` epochs.
            if ``save_top_k >= 2`` and the callback is called multiple
            times inside an epoch, the name of the saved file will be
            appended with a version count starting with `v1`.
        mode: one of {auto, min, max}.
            If ``save_top_k != 0``, the decision
            to overwrite the current save file is made
            based on either the maximization or the
            minimization of the monitored quantity. For `val_acc`,
            this should be `max`, for `val_loss` this should
            be `min`, etc. In `auto` mode, the direction is
            automatically inferred from the name of the monitored quantity.

            .. warning::
               Setting ``mode='auto'`` has been deprecated in v1.1 and will be removed in v1.3.

        save_weights_only: if ``True``, then only the model's weights will be
            saved (``model.save_weights(filepath)``), else the full model
            is saved (``model.save(filepath)``).
        period: Interval (number of epochs) between checkpoints.
        prefix: A string to put at the beginning of checkpoint filename.

            .. warning::
               This argument has been deprecated in v1.1 and will be removed in v1.3
