The "overall_throughput" that is calculated in https://github.com/instructlab/training/blob/main/src/instructlab/training/main_ds.py#L422 taking args.samples_per_gpu for the batch size instead of the actual "micro_batch_size".
In each step the batch_size is different, but overall_throughput calculated based on a constant value :
Part of a log for example with batch_size values of 125,112,121:
