Consistent 404 Not Found on Inference API for all models

Hello,

I am consistently receiving a 404 Not Found error when trying to use the Inference API, and I believe there is an issue with my account’s permissions.

I have confirmed the following through extensive testing:

1. My API token is correct and authenticates properly. A diagnostic script confirms this.

2. The error occurs for all models I try, including fully public models like HuggingFaceH4/zephyr-7b-beta and gated models I have been granted access to, like mistralai/Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1.

3. The issue is not network-related. I have tried from different IP addresses and regions using a VPN, and the result is the same 404 Not Found error.

4. The issue is not the request format. I have also tried adding a standard browser User-Agent header to my requests, and the error still persists.

It seems there is a specific issue with my account’s fundamental ability to access the Inference API service. Could you please investigate?

My Hugging Face username is: Shkila-coder

Thank you.
