Consistent 404 Not Found on Inference API for all models

Thank you for the clarification, John6666.

Following your advice, I switched my code to use a model from the official “Inference Providers” list that you linked: HuggingFaceTB/SmolLM3-3B.

Unfortunately, I am still receiving the exact same 404 Not Found error, even with this confirmed-available model.

This seems to prove that the issue is not with model selection, but a fundamental problem with my account’s permissions to access the Inference API for any model at all.
