Evaluate before you deploy
You don’t have to deploy to find out whether the training worked. A bake-off (POST /v1/fine_tuning/jobs/{id}/bakeoff, or the button on the
job page) compares the tuned model against its base on the dataset’s held-out
split: token-level NLL and perplexity on the reference answers, plus, if you
pass judge_criterion_id, a calibrated judge’s pass rate on both sides. The
verdict is sign-test-backed: it reads improved or regressed only when the
win count is statistically significant, and inconclusive otherwise. Poll
GET .../bakeoff for status, verdict, and
ledger-true spent_usd. A job whose dataset kept no holdout can’t be baked
off, and the response says so instead of improvising a number.
Track deploy progress
Deploying is a multi-stage pipeline, andGET /v1/fine_tuning/jobs/{id}
reports where yours is: deploy_status moves through queued → staging → relaying → converting → provisioning → serving (the platform stages the
trained weights, converts them into a servable artifact, and provisions the
endpoint), or lands on failed with a deploy_error naming the reason.
deployed_model_name is set once the model is callable, and stays null
until then. Poll it instead of guessing.
Bind the model when creating an endpoint
Create a dedicated endpoint (POST /v1/dedicated) and point it at your trained
model using one of two fields:
customWeightsId: the model artifact id produced by the job.fineTuningJobId: a completed fine-tuning job, whose output artifact is served.
GET /v1/dedicated/{id} to
read its routing key and status once it’s ready. See
Deploying an endpoint for the full field reference and how
to discover available GPU types and regions.
Deploy from the dashboard
Once a fine-tuning job succeeds, open it in the dashboard and choose Deploy to serve. Pick the GPU type and region, and Omnia provisions a dedicated endpoint serving your trained weights, reusing the same deploy gate, minimum runway, and per-minute metering as any dedicated endpoint.Calling your model
After deployment, call it like any dedicated endpoint: by its routing key, through the standard inference API:Billing
Fine-tuned models are served on dedicated capacity, so serving is billed per GPU-hour (metered per-minute) while the endpoint runs, not per token. This is separate from the one-time per-trained-token charge for the training run itself. Disable the endpoint when you don’t need it to halt billing.Your trained model is private to your workspace. Deploying it does not expose it
to other tenants.
Managing it
Scaling, disabling, and deleting work the same as any dedicated endpoint; see Managing endpoints.Adopt through a model alias
Every completed training round also mints an immutable model version (GET /v1/model_versions), pinned to the judge, curriculum, and holdout its
verdict depended on. Once the version is serving,
POST /v1/model_versions/{id}/adopt with {"aliasName": "support-bot"}
points your alias at it: production traffic moves
with no client change, the repoint is audited, and rolling back is the same
call aimed at an older version.
