When I upload a sample file to train the model , I get this notification : “AutoTrain is a paid offering and you will be charged for this action. You can ignore this message if you are running AutoTrain on a local hardware. Are you sure you want to continue?”
When I click on " yes ", It shows error 500.
any idea what needs to be done here ?

Hello,
I am trying to fine-tune the google-bert/bert-base-uncased model with the lhoestq/squad dataset as shown in the documentation for an example of Extraction Question and Answering which is shown in the link below:
I have set up my autotrain UI exactly as shown in the screen shot in the above link. I have checked that I have the correct column names. I have tried running this with a CPU and the small T4. However, in both cases I get the following errors:
Device 0: Tesla T4 - 2.88MiB/153…
Some people are having trouble with AutoTrain, so why don’t we join them? However, that 500 error might be a bug…

I'm trying to train a model using AutoTrain Advanced.
All steps are completed … correctly, but I consistently get a 500 Internal Server Error when clicking on "Start Training".
My setup
• HuggingFace username: lester-tavelet

715
• Project name: My Astro Mirror
• Model: Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.1
• Dataset format: Instruction format (jsonl) — verified and working
• Training settings: batch size 2, learning rate 2e-5, LoRA enabled
What I've already done:
• Successfully uploaded dataset via AutoTrain UI
• Verified dataset format (each sample has "instruction", "input", "output")
• Bound a valid payment method (credit card) — shows active
• Tried different browsers, network, and several training configurations
The bug
When clicking “Start Training”, the following happens:
• The status says “Build successful”
• Then it stalls with GET /ui/is_model_training HTTP/1.1 200 OK
• Then the UI shows: 500 Internal Server Error
Here are some screenshots of the behavior:



What I need
I’d like to know if:
• My payment status is correctly linked to training access
• This project has permission to launch Mistral-7B
• There's any known server-side bug blocking training from starting
Please help me unlock the training. I've prepared all datasets and settings precisely.
Thank you.
