Description

I would like to ask how the step hint was calculated and whether this could be changed to create a LR schedule based on runtime rather than steps, as this would affect an algorithm like shampoo with a longer time per step negatively if the step hint was based off of NadamW.

Thanks!

Research direction

The issue names no file, test, or entry point. First clarify how the step hint is currently calculated and whether runtime-based scheduling is intended; then locate the learning-rate scheduling implementation and its tests. Done requires an agreed behavior and tests covering algorithms with different per-step runtimes.
