Anyone else experience long waiting on fine-tuning jobs?

Hey @sergeliatko, yeah, you’re not alone on this one. Seeing a few folks hit long waits or jobs not starting at all can be pretty frustrating.
Good news is there was a similar issue recently that’s been resolved. In most cases, restarting the fine-tuning job gets things moving again.
If you can, try relaunching the job and see if it kicks off properly. If it still gets stuck, drop the job_id here and we can help get it looked at more closely.
Curious if others in the thread are still seeing this too or if it cleared up after retry.
