So I’ve ran the `fine_tunes.create` in the Windows Powershell:

```auto
openai api fine_tunes.create -t "C:\Users\fredk\Desktop\dataset_prepared.jsonl"

```

It uploaded the file, gave me a file\_ID, then a fine-tune id “ft-gbr94gr9g4h39g…g43”:

When I realized I forgot the model I ran the command again.

```auto
openai api fine_tunes.create -t C:\Users\fredk\Desktop\dataset_prepared.jsonl" -m curie

```

It found “duplicated file”, then asked to:  
Enter file ID to reuse an already uploaded file, or an empty string to upload this file anyway.  
So I entered the file\_id and it created a new fine-tune id: “ft-8ghr9gr89e…gregre”.

Stream was interrupted (client disconnected). I resumed the stream with the `fine_tunes.follow` command prompt. Then it failed.

Anyone with a solution before I reach out to openai support and get an answer in “6 weeks”?

Hi @fredkzk

Can you share the response of the [List Models request](https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/models/list)

Indeed, I did find later in the eve one success status.  
Can one delete the unsuccessful fine-tuning ‘ft-A1thCaPcmzWdg4UdkeRvzqQor’?
