Description
When I try to train Vicuna against Falcon it fails,
The big thing is the padding, since Falcon has no padding. (that is the part I can't figure out myself)
Also Falcon doesn't have flash attention, so there needs to be a new monkey script to swap flash attention for Falcon. (I could probably figure this part out, if the padding part was working)

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported Vicuna-against-Falcon training failure and tracing how padding is handled for Falcon. Then inspect the existing flash-attention monkey scripts and define the fallback behavior; done means Falcon fine-tuning runs successfully with padding and without flash attention.
