Hi Kapil Rupavatiya

Greetings & Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A forum! Thank you for sharing your query.

Unfortunately, fine-tuning capabilities for OpenAI on Azure are currently not available in the India datacenter. However, we recommend monitoring the Azure OpenAI Service release notes for updates. The page What's new in Azure OpenAI Service will be regularly updated with the latest information and details regarding feature availability.

Hope this helps. Do let us know if you any further queries.

Hello Kapil Rupavatiya,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A and thank you for posting your questions here.

I understand that you would like to know when fine-tuning will be available in OpenAI on Azure India datacenter.

The lack of specific timelines for fine-tuning availability in the India datacenter may be frustrating. For now, we recommend leveraging supported regions like East US, West Europe, or South-Central US as a workaround and staying updated on future feature releases via the Azure portal.

You can stay updated through the Azure OpenAI Service release notes - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cognitive-services/openai/whats-new) for announcements on region-specific feature rollouts.

My recommendation for you:

• If fine-tuning in the India datacenter is critical to your operations, we recommend reaching out to your Microsoft Account Manager or Azure Support for more direct and region-specific information.
• If fine-tuning is unavailable, consider using embedding models or prompt engineering to optimize performance without requiring fine-tuning. These methods are often effective and available in most regions.

I hope this is helpful! Do not hesitate to let me know if you have any other questions.
