The instructor CLI provides functionalities for managing fine-tuning jobs on OpenAI.
!!! warning "Incomplete API" The CLI is still under development and does not yet support all features of the API. If you would like to use a feature that is not yet supported, please consider using the contributing to our library jxnl/instructor instead.
!!! note "Low hanging fruit"
If you want to contribute we're looking for a few things:
1. Adding filenames on upload
$ instructor jobs --help
Usage: instructor jobs [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...
Monitor and create fine tuning jobs
╭─ Options ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮
│ --help Display the help message. │
╰─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯
╭─ Commands ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮
│ cancel Cancel a fine-tuning job. │
│ create-from-file Create a fine-tuning job from a file. │
│ create-from-id Create a fine-tuning job from an existing ID. │
│ list Monitor the status of the most recent fine-tuning jobs. │
╰─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯
The create-from-file command uploads and trains a model in a single step.
