Did you get an answer? Same thing for me. I have had Meta access for a week at least.

You also need to be granted access from Huggingface. Go to [this page](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Llama-2-70b-chat-hf) and request access. Once they grant it, you can download the model using a huggingface access token:

Login at [huggingface.co](http://huggingface.co) \> Click profile in top right \> Settings \> Access Tokens \> Create new token (or use one already present)

Then enable the token in your environment: run `huggingface-cli login` and paste your token and the model should download automatically next time you try to use the model

My request had been submitted more 2 days, but I am still waiting for the reply of grant access, I don’t know how long it’s done for approval??
