-        - Scheduled LR warm-up to fixed LR
-        - disable relative updates

-            Adafactor(model.parameters(), lr=1e-3, relative_step=False, warmup_init=True)
+            Adafactor(model.parameters(), scale_parameter=False, relative_step=False, warmup_init=False, lr=1e-3)

-        - Alternatively, relative_step with warmup_init can be used.
