Cannot see failure error message after trying to run a fine tuning job on gpt-4o-2024-08-06

API

I ran a couple fine tuning jobs on gpt-4o-2024-08-06, which succeeded. For these I used 40 training examples. I ran these from the OpenAI fine tuning web page, not through the API.

I then increased the number of training examples to 91, and that fine tuning job shows as Failed in the OpenAI fine tuning page - but there is no error message that I can find to explain what happened.

How do I see the error message that explains why the job failed?

Welcome to the Community!

You can try to complete an API call as follows to retrieve your fine-tuning job and see if this will include a specific error message:

from openai import OpenAI
import os

client = OpenAI(api_key=os.environ.get("OPENAI_API_KEY","sk-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"))

response = client.fine_tuning.jobs.retrieve("ftjob-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX")

print(response)
