Error: HTTP code 500 from API when trying to do fine-tuning

API

Trying to do fine tuning by calling openai api fine_tunes.create -t
API key has been given, but I received the following error

Error: HTTP code 500 from API (<html>
  <head>
    <title>Internal Server Error</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1><p>Internal Server Error</p></h1>

  </body>
</html>
) (HTTP status code: 500)

Checked the status in status.openai.com, and it’s green without any problem

Could someone please suggest how to solve this issue, or report to OpenAI team?

Same issue here. It because the file upload service is totally down. I tried using the File id to finetune, it worked. But if I want to upload the training file, it just returned the 500 error

Thank you for the suggestion @holdonyb . Yes, it seems that the file upload service is down. Sadly I don’t have the File Id yet.
Stuck for almost 2 hours already with this error.

4 hours here. And there is nothing we can do about it. So frustrating!

Problem solved after about 5 hours waiting. Nothing can be done from user end.
Although the status reported in https://status.openai.com/ is green, in fact something is wrong when calling the API (file upload failure)

UPDATE:
It’s not fixed yet, still facing the same problem when trying to upload new file

I’ve seen another post about a similar issue, possibly a server problem that has not yet been flagged, hopefully it will get resolved shortly.

My cmd:
openai api fine_tunes.create -t covid_prepared.jsonl -m davinci
The result on terminal
