Hi @strong oar. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

Based on the information provided in the extracts, here are some suggestions:

  1. Fine-tuning: Fine-tuning is a method to train the model on your specific data. This could be a good approach to make your assistant understand your custom scripting language. You can prepare a dataset with demonstration conversations that are similar to the conversations you will ask the model to respond to at inference time in production. Each example in the dataset should be a conversation in the same format as the Chat Completions API, specifically a list of messages where each message has a role, content, and optional name. At least some of the training examples should directly target cases where the prompted model is not behaving as desired, and the provided assistant messages in the data should be the ideal responses you want the model to provide source (https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/fine-tuning).

  2. Instructions: You can provide instructions to the assistant to guide its behavior. For example, you can instruct the assistant to always use the uploaded documents to answer questions. However, it's important to note that the assistant may not always follow the instructions as expected. You may need to experiment with different instructions to get the desired results source (https://community.openai.com/t/548621).

  3. Embeddings: One of the extracts mentions using embeddings to educate the AI on your content. While the extract does not provide further details, this could be a potential approach to consider source (https://community.openai.com/t/304245).

  4. APIs: If you want to build a custom interface and consume this technology on another platform, APIs could be the way to go. However, please note that the usage of APIs is billed source (https://community.openai.com/t/484098).

#
  1. File Upload: If you want the user to upload their CSV with messages, you may need to check the specific endpoint for this in the OpenAI documentation as it's not mentioned in the extracts source (https://community.openai.com/t/556937).

Remember, these are just suggestions based on the information provided in the extracts. You may need to experiment with different approaches to find what works best for your specific use case.

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:

Converting your data into the required format for fine-tuning might require some custom scripting or programming on your part. The exact method would depend on the structure and format of your existing data. Unfortunately, the extracts provided do not include any specific projects or tools for this task.

As for the cost of fine-tuning, the pricing is based on the number of tokens in your input file and the number of epochs trained. The formula provided in the extracts is:

base cost per 1k tokens * number of tokens in the input file * number of epochs trained

For example, if you have a training file with 100,000 tokens and you train over 3 epochs, the expected cost would be approximately $2.40 USD source (https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/fine-tuning).

Please note that this is just an example and the actual cost would depend on the specifics of your training data and the number of epochs. You should refer to the OpenAI Pricing Page (https://openai.com/pricing) for the most accurate and up-to-date information.

@strong oar kapa.ai is still learning and improving, please let us know how it did by reacting below

An epoch in machine learning is a complete pass through the entire training dataset. During an epoch, the model learns from the data, adjusts its weights (parameters), and improves its performance. The number of epochs is a hyperparameter that defines the number times that the learning algorithm will work through the entire training dataset source (https://community.openai.com/t/563147).

Choosing the right number of epochs is a balance. Training for more epochs could lead to better performance as the model has more opportunities to learn from the data. However, training for too many epochs can lead to overfitting, where the model learns the training data too well and performs poorly on new, unseen data. Conversely, too few epochs could lead to underfitting, where the model does not learn the underlying patterns in the data source (https://community.openai.com/t/554930).

In the example provided in the extracts, the model was fine-tuned for 3 epochs source (https://cookbook.openai.com/examples/third_party/gpt_finetuning_with_wandb#time-to-train-the-model). However, the appropriate number of epochs can vary depending on the specific task and dataset. You might need to experiment with different numbers of epochs to find the optimal number for your specific use case.

It's also worth noting that more epochs will increase the cost of fine-tuning, as the cost is proportional to the number of epochs source (https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/fine-tuning).
