Recommended settings for ScheduleFree.

[waomodder]

#1600
The ScheduleFree optimiser is used, but the initial Loss value is over 3000 and convergence is too slow.
Even after an hour, I cannot even reach the decimal point (0.3) when using AdamW.
Can you please tell me if there are any recommended settings for use?

You need to provide the base learning_rate, same as before.

Also your network_alpha seems crazy high, you should use the same value as network_dim or lower.

Plus huber_schedule is ignored when loss_type is not "huber" (Huber loss is currently not supported in Flux).

@recris
Thanks for pointing this out. We would like to know if there is an ‘adamwschedulefree’ setting that you think is best.

I typically start with network_dim = 16, network_alpha = 8 and learning_rate = 2e-4 then tweak the LR from there.

I also recommend training at a lower resolution first (like 640px) while experimenting with different parameters, it's much quicker while figuring the what the optimal settings are.

Thank you for your detailed guidance.
