--fine-tuning-job-id: string

The ID of the fine-tuning job.

ReturnsExpand Collapse

fine_tuning_job: object { id, created_at, error, 16 more }

The fine_tuning.job object represents a fine-tuning job that has been created through the API.

id: string

The object identifier, which can be referenced in the API endpoints.

created_at: number

The Unix timestamp (in seconds) for when the fine-tuning job was created.

error: object { code, message, param }

For fine-tuning jobs that have failed, this will contain more information on the cause of the failure.

fine_tuned_model: string

The name of the fine-tuned model that is being created. The value will be null if the fine-tuning job is still running.

finished_at: number

The Unix timestamp (in seconds) for when the fine-tuning job was finished. The value will be null if the fine-tuning job is still running.

hyperparameters: object { batch_size, learning_rate_multiplier, n_epochs }

The hyperparameters used for the fine-tuning job. This value will only be returned when running supervised jobs.

model: string

The base model that is being fine-tuned.

object: "fine_tuning.job"

The object type, which is always “fine_tuning.job”.

organization_id: string

The organization that owns the fine-tuning job.

result_files: array of string

The compiled results file ID(s) for the fine-tuning job. You can retrieve the results with the Files API.

seed: number

The seed used for the fine-tuning job.

status: "validating_files" or "queued" or "running" or 3 more

The current status of the fine-tuning job, which can be either validating_files, queued, running, succeeded, failed, or cancelled.

trained_tokens: number

The total number of billable tokens processed by this fine-tuning job. The value will be null if the fine-tuning job is still running.

training_file: string

The file ID used for training. You can retrieve the training data with the Files API.

validation_file: string

The file ID used for validation. You can retrieve the validation results with the Files API.

estimated_finish: optional number

The Unix timestamp (in seconds) for when the fine-tuning job is estimated to finish. The value will be null if the fine-tuning job is not running.
