Error During Fine-Tuning: "Model not available for fine-tuning or does not exist

I’m encountering an issue while attempting to fine-tune a model I’ve successfully fine-tuned before. I’m using the gpt-4o-mini-2024-07-18 model, and when I try to initiate another round of fine-tuning, I receive the following error message:

" 400 Model ft:gpt-4o-mini-2024-07-18 is not available for fine-tuning or does not exist."

If anyone knows the reason do let me know.

Welcome to the Forum!

Could you reconfirm: you want to fine-tune an already fine-tuned model OR do you want to create a completely new fine-tuned model with gpt-4o-mini-2024-07-18 as the base model?

Either way, could you share the code you are using to initiate the fine-tuning request?

There is a problem today with the fine tuned models. Im getting:
Error code: 404 - {‘error’: {‘message’: ‘The model ft:gpt-4o-mini-2024-07-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX does not exist or you do not have access to it.’, ‘type’: ‘invalid_request_error’, ‘param’: None, ‘code’: ‘model_not_found’}}
for all the models i have fine tuned today.

Does it work for you with older fine-tuned models that have gpt-4o-mini as the base model? That at least works for me.

Trying right now to see if I experience the same error on my end with a model fine-tuned today. Will update here shortly.

EDIT: A simple fine-tuned gpt-4o-mini model I created just now worked without any issues.

older models work. Meanwhile, a model that has finished its fine tuning before 6 hours has stuck on :
10:44:10
Evaluating model against our usage policies before enabling.

Thank you!
I want to fine tune already fine-tuned gpt-4o-mini-2024-07-18 model. The older models worked completely fine.

I faced the same problem. Did you find any solution ?

Just checking every now and then. It seem like the final ft models are working now, but the intermediate checkpoints( if they have ) don’t work.
