OpenAI has announced that third-party developers can now fine-tune its newly launched multimodal large model, GPT-4o. This feature allows developers to adjust the model's behavior according to their application needs, such as altering the tone, following specific instructions, or improving accuracy in technical tasks. Even with minimal training data, significant performance improvements can be achieved through fine-tuning.

For developers, using this new feature is straightforward. They simply need to access OpenAI's fine-tuning dashboard, click "Create," and then select "gpt-4o-2024-08-06" from the base model dropdown menu. This ease of operation means that fine-tuning can greatly enhance the model's performance in various fields, whether it be programming or creative writing.

Free 1 Million Tokens Daily Until September 23

OpenAI is also offering a special promotion: until September 23, 2024, developers will receive up to 1 million free Tokens daily. These Tokens are the basic units for the model to understand and process information, and developers need to convert their business-related data into Tokens for effective fine-tuning.

It's important to note that the usual cost for fine-tuning the GPT-4o model is $25 per 1 million Tokens, while the cost for using the fine-tuned model for inference is $3.75 per 1 million input Tokens and $15 per 1 million output Tokens.

For the smaller GPT-4o mini model, OpenAI provides 2 million free Tokens daily until the same deadline. This measure not only attracts a large number of developers but also strengthens OpenAI's market competitiveness against competitors like Google, Anthropic, and newly launched open-source models such as Nous Research's Hermes3.

Additionally, while promoting the fine-tuning feature, OpenAI has not overlooked issues of security and data privacy. They ensure that the fine-tuned model can fully control enterprise data, guaranteeing that inputs and outputs are not used to train other models. To ensure compliance with OpenAI's usage policies, the company has implemented multi-layered security measures.

Successful Fine-Tuning Cases

There have been some successful fine-tuning cases, such as an AI software engineering company named Cosine, which achieved a top score of 43.8% on the SWE-bench benchmark through fine-tuning.
