*directory* containing model weights saved using
                      [`~PreTrainedModel.save_pretrained`], e.g., `./my_model_directory/`.
                    - A path or url to a *tensorflow index checkpoint file* (e.g, `./tf_model/model.ckpt.index`). In
                      this case, `from_tf` should be set to `True` and a configuration object should be provided as
                      `config` argument. This loading path is slower than converting the TensorFlow checkpoint in a
                      PyTorch model using the provided conversion scripts and loading the PyTorch model afterwards.

            decoder_pretrained_model_name_or_path (`str`, *optional*, defaults to `None`):
                Information necessary to initiate the decoder. Can be either:

                    - A string, the *model id* of a pretrained model hosted inside a model repo on huggingface.co.
                      Valid model ids can be located at the root-level, like `bert-base-uncased`, or namespaced under a
                      user or organization name, like `dbmdz/bert-base-german-cased`.
                    - A path to a *directory* containing model weights saved using
                      [`~PreTrainedModel.save_pretrained`], e.g., `./my_model_directory/`.
                    - A path or url to a *tensorflow index checkpoint file* (e.g, `./tf_model/model.ckpt.index`). In
                      this case, `from_tf` should be set to `True` and a configuration object should be provided as
                      `config` argument. This loading path is slower than converting the TensorFlow checkpoint in a
                      PyTorch model using the provided conversion scripts and loading the PyTorch model afterwards.

            model_args (remaining positional arguments, *optional*):
                All remaining positional arguments will be passed to the underlying model's `__init__` method.

            kwargs (remaining dictionary of keyword arguments, *optional*):
                Can be used to update the configuration object (after it being loaded) and initiate the model (e.g.,
                `output_attentions=True`).

                - To update the encoder configuration, use the prefix *encoder_* for each configuration parameter.
                - To update the decoder configuration, use the prefix *decoder_* for each configuration parameter.
                - To update the parent model configuration, do not use a prefix for each configuration parameter.

                Behaves differently depending on whether a `config` is provided or automatically loaded.

        Example:

        ```python
        >>> from transformers import EncoderDecoderModel

        >>> # initialize a bert2bert from two pretrained BERT models. Note that the cross-attention layers will be randomly initialized
        >>> model = EncoderDecoderModel.from_encoder_decoder_pretrained("bert-base-uncased", "bert-base-uncased")
        >>> # saving model after fine-tuning
        >>> model.save_pretrained("./bert2bert")
        >>> # load fine-tuned model
        >>> model = EncoderDecoderModel.from_pretrained("./bert2bert")
        ```c
