Synthesis

  1. Fine-tuning cost: $17 for 38,340 examples

    Using only 38,340 examples keeps fine-tuning costs low—approximately $17.0—while larger datasets increase both cost and training time.

    Supporting evidence 1

    Original excerpt

    We only use 38,340 examples to keep our fine-tuning costs low. Training against a dataset of this size will only cost about $17.0, while larger datasets are more expensive and time-consuming to train against.

  2. Training duration: ~25 minutes

    The fine-tuning job takes approximately 25 minutes to complete.

    Supporting evidence 1

    Original excerpt

    The training job will take roughly 25 minutes to complete, and once it does we’ll have a model that is ready to do classification.
