How can I delete a fine-tuned model using the API?

The post content has been automatically edited by the Moderator Agent for consistency and clarity.

I’m developing a tool to manage files and fine-tuning jobs. I noticed there isn’t an obvious API endpoint for deleting fine-tuned models, even though the OpenAI CLI tool appears to support this action.

Am I missing something, or is there an alternative method to delete a fine-tuned model via the API?

Below is an excerpt from the documentation regarding deleting fine-tuned models:

Endpoint:
DELETE https://api.openai.com/v1/models/{model}

Description:
This endpoint deletes a specified fine-tuned model. Note that you must have the Owner role in your organization to perform this action.

Example using curl:

BASH
curl https://api.openai.com/v1/models/ft:gpt-4o-mini:acemeco:suffix:abc123 \
  -X DELETE \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPENAI_API_KEY"

Expected Response:

JSON
{
  "id": "ft:gpt-4o-mini:acemeco:suffix:abc123",
  "object": "model",
  "deleted": true
}

While you might have initially overlooked this endpoint, it is indeed available and is used by the OpenAI CLI tool to perform deletions of fine-tuned models. Make sure you're using the correct API key with the necessary role permissions when invoking this endpoint.
