    Saves input Layer or function as ``paddle.jit.TranslatedLayer``
    format model, which can be used for inference or fine-tuning after loading.

    It will save the translated program and all related persistable
    variables of input Layer to given ``path`` .

    ``path`` is the prefix of saved objects, and the saved translated program file
    suffix is ``.pdmodel`` , the saved persistable variables file suffix is ``.pdiparams`` ,
    and here also saved some additional variable description information to a file,
    its suffix is ``.pdiparams.info``, these additional information is used in fine-tuning.

    The saved model can be loaded by follow APIs:
      - ``paddle.jit.load``
      - ``paddle.static.load_inference_model``
      - Other C++ inference APIs

    .. note::
        When using ``paddle.jit.save`` to save a function, parameters will not be saved. If you have to 
        save the parameter, please pass the Layer containing function and parameter to ``paddle.jit.save``.

    Args:
        layer (Layer|function): The Layer or function to be saved.
        path (str): The path prefix to save model. The format is ``dirname/file_prefix`` or ``file_prefix``.
        input_spec (list or tuple[InputSpec|Tensor|Python built-in variable], optional): Describes the input of the saved model's forward
            method, which can be described by InputSpec or example Tensor. Moreover, we support to specify non-tensor type argument,
            such as int, float, string, or list/dict of them.If None, all input variables of
            the original Layer's forward method would be the inputs of the saved model. Default None.
        **configs (dict, optional): Other save configuration options for compatibility. We do not
            recommend using these configurations, they may be removed in the future. If not necessary,
            DO NOT use them. Default None.
            The following options are currently supported:
            (1) output_spec (list[Tensor]): Selects the output targets of the saved model.
            By default, all return variables of original Layer's forward method are kept as the
            output of the saved model. If the provided ``output_spec`` list is not all output variables,
            the saved model will be pruned according to the given ``output_spec`` list.

    then performing inference or fine-tune training.

    .. note::
        If you load model saved by ``paddle.static.save_inference_model`` ,
        there will be the following limitations when using it in fine-tuning:
        1. Imperative mode do not support LoDTensor. All original model's feed targets or parametars that depend on LoD are temporarily unavailable.
        2. All saved model's feed targets need to be passed into TranslatedLayer's forward function.
        3. The variable's ``stop_gradient`` information is lost and can not be recovered.
        4. The parameter's ``trainable`` information is lost and can not be recovered.

    Args:
        path (str): The path prefix to load model. The format is ``dirname/file_prefix`` or ``file_prefix`` .
        **configs (dict, optional): Other load configuration options for compatibility. We do not
            recommend using these configurations, they may be removed in the future. If not necessary,
            DO NOT use them. Default None.
            The following options are currently supported:
            (1) model_filename (str): The inference model file name of the paddle 1.x
            ``save_inference_model`` save format. Default file name is :code:`__model__` .
            (2) params_filename (str): The persistable variables file name of the paddle 1.x
            ``save_inference_model`` save format. No default file name, save variables separately
            by default.


    Returns:
        TranslatedLayer: A Layer object can run saved translated model.

        Save the TracedLayer to a model for inference. The saved

        ``path`` is the prefix of saved objects, and the saved translated program file
        suffix is ``.pdmodel`` , the saved persistable variables file suffix is ``.pdiparams`` .

                inference model. If None, all input variables of the
                TracedLayer object would be the inputs of the saved inference
