Answer 1

Mit Thakkar Greetings & Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum!

I want to create model from my custom data, create custom model button is grayed out in my Azure Open AI portal. I have all permissions granted for that resource group.

Regarding option greyed out:

Even though you can see the models listed, create a custom model is disabled meaning that you haven't been granted a Cognitive Services OpenAI Contributor" role assignment in resource level.

Also, User needs to be a reader at the Subscription level and should have Cognitive Services OpenAI Contributor on the resource level to work.

If you are looking for Finetuning:

Fine tuning is currently not available for new customers as it is turned off for all regions. Unfortunately, we don't have any ETA at this moment when fine tuning opens again.

The models page will be updated as soon as we open up regions for fine tuning and users should be able to submit the requests when it is made available.

If you have previously fine-tuned & deployed in a region, then you can fine tune in that region if it's available.

Alternatively, you could use Azure OpenAI on your data feature with Open AI which might remove the need / requirement for fine tuning.

Hope this information helps. Do let me know if there are any further queries.
