def clear_session(free_memory=True):
    """Resets all state generated by Keras.

    Keras manages a global state, which it uses to implement the Functional
    model-building API and to uniquify autogenerated layer names.

    If you are creating many models in a loop, this global state will consume
    an increasing amount of memory over time, and you may want to clear it.
    Calling `clear_session()` releases the global state: this helps avoid
    clutter from old models and layers, especially when memory is limited.

    Args:
        free_memory: Whether to call Python garbage collection.
            It's usually a good practice to call it to make sure
            memory used by deleted objects is immediately freed.
            However, it may take a few seconds to execute, so
            when using `clear_session()` in a short loop,
            you may want to skip it.

    Example 1: calling `clear_session()` when creating models in a loop

    ```python
    for _ in range(100):
      # Without `clear_session()`, each iteration of this loop will
      # slightly increase the size of the global state managed by Keras
      model = keras.Sequential([
          keras.layers.Dense(10) for _ in range(10)])

    for _ in range(100):
      # With `clear_session()` called at the beginning,
      # Keras starts with a blank state at each iteration
      # and memory consumption is constant over time.
      keras.backend.clear_session()
      model = keras.Sequential([
          keras.layers.Dense(10) for _ in range(10)])
    ```

    Example 2: resetting the layer name generation counter

    >>> layers = [keras.layers.Dense(10) for _ in range(10)]
    >>> new_layer = keras.layers.Dense(10)
    >>> print(new_layer.name)
    dense_10
    >>> keras.backend.clear_session()
    >>> new_layer = keras.layers.Dense(10)
    >>> print(new_layer.name)
    dense
