Linear warmup followed by cosine decay

A schedule that linearly warms up the learning rate and later decays it according to a cosine schedule.

Also called linear warmup then cosine decay.

The learning rate is linearly warmed up over the first 2000 steps and then maintained at 2.6×10 −4 until 28T tokens. Between 28T and 40T tokens, we decay the learning rate to 2.6× 10−5 following a cosine schedule.
