Cause (Documented platform behavior): The SDK runs local dataset checks per purpose: CSV only for eval, Parquet not for eval, extensions limited to .jsonl/.parquet/.csv, UTF-8 and size (50.1 GB) checks.
Fix status: documented_behavior

- Only JSONL and Parquet files are supported.

Problem details
- Observed symptom
- Upload fails locally with a report dict before anything is sent.
- Context

solution · Revision 1
Proposed fix: [Together Python SDK] Pre-upload file check: 'CSV files are not supported for fine-tune. Only JSONL and Parquet files are supported.' / pyarrow not installed / 'Invalid file supplied, fa
Recommended action: Convert fine-tuning data to JSONL (or Parquet with pip install 'together[pyarrow]'); use CSV/JSONL for evaluations; read the printed report's message field.
Option: Match format to purpose [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Steps:
1. fine-tune: JSONL or Parquet (+pyarrow)
2. eval: JSONL or CSV
Expected: check passes
