Azure Fine Tune Deployment Pricing

Question

Hi there. I recently trained and deployed a 4o-mini model on Azure. In my subscription summary, the costs for the model are climbing steadily despite being on the standard pricing model and limiting how often I use it. Answers on some other posts indicate there is an hourly fee, how can I find that? Why is it not mentioned when deploying the fine tuned model? The pricing on keeping it deployed seems absurd considering most other services just host it for free after training. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Hi Jonah Foster,

Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.

Cost will vary from location to location.

I recommend you go to pricing calculator, select location, scroll down and check pricing.
