Bug

Endpoint is stuck in validating files status

2

Hi and welcome to the community!

I was able to reproduce this issue and pinged the team to take a look.
In my case a SFT job using gpt-4.1-mini-2025-04-14 with 10 examples didn’t progress for ~10 minutes.

appreciate it. I’ve tried things like that too

After days of trying hard I hope I can find a solution here.

Cheers

@VeitB any feedback? It’s still not working.

I’ll ping the team again.
Can you share a fine-tuning request id with a exceptionally long wait time?

@VeitB thanks for jumping in, this is one of our ID’s ftjob-kBrw4N1H2OrDwTE0djymEd5H

@VeitB any news here? For me the jobs has moved to “Waiting…” instead of “Validating files…”, but the jobs are still stuck.

the same is happening to me.

@VeitB any news? Or is the fine-tune thing being deprecated finally?
