OpenAI has announced they will be winding down fine tuning.
Got an email today about the announcement.
> OpenAI is winding down the fine-tuning API and platform. Existing active customers can continue running fine-tuning training jobs through [January 6, 2027](calendar:T2:January 6, 2027), after which creating new training jobs will no longer be possible.
And
> Inference on fine-tuned models will only be turned off once the underlying base model is deprecated.
My guess this is an attempt to save money but it's going to force a lot of developers like myself to start looking for alternatives. I use a fine tuned version of 4.1 for character creation. I have to fine tune because a prompt and RAG isn’t enough for a solid/consistent personality.
