Description

🚀 Feature Request

The preference data looks like this:

{
    "chosen":
    [
        {"role": "user", "content": "abcd"},
        {"role": "assistant",  "content": "abcef"},
        ...
    ],
    "rejected":
    [
        {"role": "user", "content": "abcd"},
        {"role": "assistant", "content": "abcef"},
        ...
    ]
}

This data is used to train a Reward Model or DPO

I'm wondering if it's possible to use streaming for this kind of situation. And How?
Thanks very much.
