And now the models  
black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-dev  
black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-schnell  
stabilityai/stable-diffusion-3.5-large-turbo  
aren’t working either—they were some of the few that were still usable.

If Hugging Face is just a platform to make money, that’s fine, but they should say it outright. No more talk of democratization, open source, or any of that, because in that sense, HF is absolute 💩.

`black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-dev` worked when I tried it just now. However, it seems to be slow. I think there must be some kind of problem…🥶

Those were the few models that were working, but now almost all models have stopped…

> Hi everyone, I seem to be encountering a sudden issue with the Hugging Face Inference API. I was successfully using it for image-to-image tasks (specifically with models like stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-refiner-1.0), but it abruptly stopped working a short while ago. Now, regardless of which model I try to use, I consistently receive the following error pattern: Model \<model\_name\> is not supported HF inference api This is happening in two distinct ways: Via InferenceClient: My applicat…

Confirmed - even “stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0” stopped working.

And I’m with javarribas: HF-staff: if this platform turns into something to make money - be honest about that. Willing to pay here - if I get a stable (!!) dev enviroment without breaking changes left right and center.

I understand that servers cost money - but right now HF for me is completely bonkered.

I’m getting this Error `An error occurred while fetching the blob` while using the model `facebook/bart-large-mnli` with NodeJS (v20.19.0)

```auto
Error: An error occurred while fetching the blob
    at innerRequest (/Users/vt/test/node_modules/@huggingface/inference/dist/index.cjs:1737:11)
    at process.processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:95:5)
    at async zeroShotClassification (/Users/vt/test/node_modules/@huggingface/inference/dist/index.cjs:2235:25)
    at async classifyText (/Users/vt/test/test.js:27:22)
    at async extractFilterCriteria (/Users/vt/test/test.js:42:24)
    at async main (/Users/vt/test/test.js:117:32)

```

🔴 This is how I call the model `facebook/bart-large-mnli`

```auto
async function classifyText(text, labels) {
    const response = await hf.zeroShotClassification({
        model: 'facebook/bart-large-mnli',
        inputs: text,
        parameters: { candidate_labels: labels },
        provider: 'hf-inference'
    });
    return response;
}

```

🔴 I have also tried cURL, and got the `504 Gateway Timeout`.

```auto
curl https://router.huggingface.co/hf-inference/models/facebook/bart-large-mnli \
    -X POST \
    -d '{"inputs": "Hi, I recently bought a device from your company but it is not working as advertised and I would like to get reimbursed!", "parameters": {"candidate_labels": ["refund", "legal", "faq"]}}' \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    -H 'Authorization: Bearer HF_API_KEY'

```

🟢 This call to `sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2` works fine:

```auto
async function generateEmbeddings(texts) {
    const results = await hf.featureExtraction({
        model: "sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2",
        inputs: texts,
        provider: 'hf-inference'
    });
    return results;
}

```

Actually, it has nothing to do with blobs, you probably use old version of HF Inference client: [Inference API stopped working - #40 by TOOTHED](https://discuss.huggingface.co/t/inference-api-stopped-working/150492/40). And yes, new version will cause “No Inference Provider available for model”.

Most likely it is connected to this [update](https://discuss.huggingface.co/t/inference-api-stopped-working/150492/6):

> [@Inference API stopped working](https://discuss.huggingface.co/t/inference-api-stopped-working/150492/6):
>
> `HF Inference API is getting revamped and will only support warm models in the future (no cold start allowed)`

So… Seems that it is not just the error, but changes in strategy. As mods [reply to the issues as fixed](https://discuss.huggingface.co/t/persistent-dns-resolution-errors/153827/15)
