Based on the description in Run Stan's MCMC algorithms — model-method-sample • cmdstanr this doesn’t seem possible, but it would be a required feature when saving the warmed up parameters from multiple chains. By contrast, it’s straightforward to pass different step sizes for each chain.

It accepts a metric per chain, just not documented as having that capability. You just do inv_metric = warmup$inv_metric(matrix=F). Here’s the full warmup-then-sample code: warmup = mod$sample( data = data_for_stan , chains = parallel_chains , parallel_chains = parallel_chains , refresh = 0 ,…

FYI the bug was worked out, and I also posted some code that achieves things properly.
