Hi team,

I’m using the HF Inference endpoint @ [brushpenbob/flux-midjourney-anime](https://huggingface.co/brushpenbob/flux-midjourney-anime?inference_provider=hf-inference) and I’m getting 504 errors frequently. Sometimes it goes away after multiple retries but it severely impact latency and my user experience. Can someone help take a look?

The Serverless Inference API is unstable at the moment…

For now, it’s easier to report problems with the Hub GUI using the following.
