I read this sentence in documentation about what models can be fine-tuned:

“Fine-tuning is currently only available for the following base models: `davinci` , `curie` , `babbage` , and `ada` . These are the original models that do not have any instruction following training (like `text-davinci-003` does for example). You are also able to [continue fine-tuning a fine-tuned model](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/fine-tuning/continue-fine-tuning-from-a-fine-tuned-model) to add additional data without having to start from scratch.”

Does it mean that text-davinci-003 cannot be fine-tuned?
