When will the latest GPT 3.5 turbo fine-tuning released by OpenAI be available on Azure?

I am using the GPT 3.5 turbo model provided by Azure's cognitive service.

Recently, I conducted experiments related to fine-tuning on the gpt 3.5 turbo model released by OpenAI,

and I was able to observe a significant improvement in performance (as expected).

However, fine-tuning GPT 3.5 is not available on Azure, and even the previously existing fine-tuning options are considered outdated(*chat-completion format), referred to as 'legacy fine-tuning' by OpenAI.

It is anticipated that there will be many cases where fine-tuning is necessary for providing a stable service.

Could anyone please let me know when Azure plans to provide the updated fine-tuning?

Additionally, I would like to inquire if it will be available only in specific regions.

Thank you.

    김학준 Greetings & Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum!

    Currently, Fine tuning is not available for new customers as it is turned off for all regions due to capacity constraints while using an Azure OpenAI resource.

    You can see the same on models page as well.

    Unfortunately, we don't have any ETA at this moment when fine tuning opens again.

    As more regions are added to Azure OpenAI, this restriction might be removed and fine tuning will be available to new users.

    Additionally, I would like to inquire if it will be available only in specific regions.

    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.

    It is anticipated that there will be many cases where fine-tuning is necessary for providing a stable service.

    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.

    I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
