With gpt-4o being deprecated - what does that mean for gpt-4o fine tunes?

Isabella_Macedo:

I am confused

Pick one of the non-deprecated models without strikethrough:

chatgpt-4o-latest gpt-4o-2024-05-03 gpt-4o-2024-08-06 & fine-tuning gpt-4o-2024-11-20


Your code can also surface data from this Python dict I made; some fine-tunings have been allowed past official shutoff, other deprecation announcements haven’t made any distinction about their fine-tuning variants.

DEPRECATIONS = {
