    What changes next: Developers will likely rapidly adopt fine-tuning for custom AI applications.

    Fine-tuning GPT-4o allows developers to customise AI models for specific tasks, enhancing performance and accuracy.,Cosine's Genie achieved a state-of-the-art score of 43.8% on the SWE-bench Verified benchmark using fine-tuned GPT-4o.,Distyl ranked 1st on the BIRD-SQL benchmark with a 71.83% execution accuracy using fine-tuned GPT-4o.

    In the rapidly evolving world of artificial intelligence (AI), the ability to fine-tune models has become a game-changer. Today, we're thrilled to announce the launch of fine-tuning for GPT-4o, a feature that developers have been eagerly awaiting. This new capability allows developers to customise GPT-4o models with their own datasets, leading to higher performance and lower costs for specific use cases. Let's dive into what this means for the future of AI in Asia and beyond.

    What is Fine-Tuning and Why Does It Matter?

    Fine-tuning is the process of training a pre-trained AI model on a new dataset to adapt it to a specific task. For GPT-4o, this means developers can now tailor the model to their unique needs, whether it's coding, creative writing, or any other domain-specific application. This customisation can significantly improve the model's performance and accuracy, making it more efficient and cost-effective.

    Getting Started with GPT-4o Fine-Tuning

    To start fine-tuning GPT-4o, developers can visit the fine-tuning dashboard and select the base model they want to customise. GPT-4o fine-tuning is available to all developers on paid usage tiers, with costs starting at $25 per million tokens for training and $3.75 per million input tokens for inference.

    For those looking to experiment without a significant investment, GPT-4o mini fine-tuning is also available. This version offers 2 million training tokens per day for free until September 23, making it an excellent starting point for developers to test the waters.

    Achieving State-of-the-Art Performance

    Over the past few months, we've collaborated with trusted partners to test fine-tuning on GPT-4o. The results have been impressive. Here are a couple of success stories:

    Cosine's Genie: A Software Engineering Marvel

    Cosine's Genie is an AI software engineering assistant that can autonomously identify and resolve bugs, build features, and refactor code. Powered by a fine-tuned GPT-4o model, Genie has achieved a state-of-the-art score of 43.8% on the new SWE-bench Verified benchmark^[SWE-bench Verified Benchmark]. This is a significant improvement over previous models, demonstrating the power of fine-tuning.

    "Genie is powered by a fine-tuned GPT-4o model trained on examples of real software engineers at work, enabling the model to learn to respond in a specific way."

    Distyl: Leading the Way in Text-to-SQL

    Distyl, an AI solutions partner to Fortune 500 companies, recently placed 1st on the BIRD-SQL benchmark. Their fine-tuned GPT-4o model achieved an execution accuracy of 71.83%, excelling in tasks like query reformulation, intent classification, and SQL generation. This achievement highlights the versatility and effectiveness of fine-tuned models.

    Ensuring Data Privacy and Safety

    Fine-tuned models remain entirely under the control of the developers, ensuring full ownership of business data, including all inputs and outputs. This means your data is never shared or used to train other models. Additionally, we've implemented layered safety mitigations to prevent misuse of fine-tuned models. Automated safety evaluations and usage monitoring ensure that applications adhere to our usage policies.

    Prompt: Customising GPT-4o for Your Needs

    Before diving into fine-tuning, it's crucial to understand the specific needs of your application. Here's a prompt to help you get started:

    "Imagine you are a developer working on a project that requires high accuracy in text-to-SQL conversion. How would you fine-tune GPT-4o to achieve the best results for this specific task?"

    "Imagine you are a developer working on a project that requires high accuracy in text-to-SQL conversion. How would you fine-tune GPT-4o to achieve the best results for this specific task?"

    This prompt encourages you to think about the unique requirements of your project and how fine-tuning can help you achieve your goals. By customising GPT-4o, you can create a model that is tailored to your specific needs, leading to better performance and efficiency.

    Wah, ini menarik sekali! Fine-tuning GPT-4o sounds like a game changer for sure. I'm especially curious about the "specific tasks" mentioned. Can this fine-tuning be applied effectively to, say, generating extremely nuanced and culturally specific Indonesian slang or idioms without losing the core meaning? That's always a tricky bit with current models. It feels like there's a huge potential for localised applications beyond just language translation, but true cultural context is often the biggest hurdle. Definitely keen to see more examples of how developers are leveraging this for bespoke solutions.

    This emphasis on fine-tuning GPT-4o is particularly interesting for us here in Southeast Asia. Our diverse linguistic landscape means off-the-shelf models often struggle with local nuances. Custom training could really accelerate adoption for businesses wanting accurate customer support in Singlish or even Bhasa. The article paints a hopeful picture for tailoring these powerful tools.

    Interesting read on fine-tuning GPT-4o. I've been mulling over whether off-the-shelf models, even powerful ones, don't sometimes lose a bit of their generalist brilliance when you narrow their scope too precisely. Like, you gain specific accuracy, but at what cost to broader understanding? Just a thought I'm exploring, will definitely circle back to this idea. Good stuff, though.
