To elaborate on [Llama 2 requiring PRO subscription](https://discuss.huggingface.co/t/does-llama-2-need-pro-subscription/48554):

> yes to use it with inference api, you need pro subscription since its too large(13gbish\>10gb which is free api limit). Ofcourse you could run it locally without any error

I could not find reference to this in the docs. To state it differently, the “free” Inference API is rate limited (number of requests?), available only for models \< 10GB and (possibly) excludes all Llama 2 models.
