Short answer

How can I track my fine tuning progress in chat?

Your AI client uses the OpenAI Connector to pull real-time status updates for every training run. You can check current progress, grab specific job details, or stop a run that isn't performing well.

Training management outcomes

Where your training data lands.

What you can do once your AI has access to your OpenAI account.

STATUS

Real-time progress tracking

Your AI pulls the latest status for every job. You'll know exactly when a model finishes training.

DETAILS

Deep dive into runs

Get specific metadata for a single job. Your AI can pull the exact state and ID of a specific fine-tune.

CONTROL

Stop active jobs

If a training run is wasting credits or behaving badly, tell your AI to kill the process immediately.

HUMAN

Manual intervention

You decide when to trigger a cancellation or when to move to the next stage of your project.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI acts as the bridge between your chat window and the OpenAI API.

  1. Scan active jobs

    The AI looks through your entire list of fine-tuning tasks to find what you're looking for.

    list_fine_tunes

  2. Inspect specific runs

    Once you identify a job, the AI fetches the granular details and current status for that specific ID.

    get_fine_tune

  3. Verify job state

    The AI confirms if a job is still running, failed, or completed before suggesting next steps.

    get_fine_tune

  4. Terminate training

    If you tell the AI to stop a job, it sends the command to end the training run immediately.

    cancel_fine_tune

FAQ

How the monitoring works

  • 01

    Can the AI create new fine tuning jobs?

    No. This connector is strictly for monitoring and managing existing jobs.

  • 02

    Can the AI delete my trained models?

    No. The AI can only cancel active training runs, not delete completed model files.

  • 03

    How often does the status update?

    The AI fetches the most recent data from OpenAI every time you ask for an update.

  • 04

    Will the AI cancel a job without my permission?

    No. The AI only executes a cancellation when you explicitly tell it to do so in chat.

  • 05

    Can I see the training loss curves?

    The AI can report the status and metadata provided by the API, but it does not render visual charts.
