Hi, complete beginner here I’m trying to hit free API llama 2 and I’m getting this error I’m not sure why .Do I need to pay for PRO to use it

HTTP Error: 400 Bad Request {"error":"Model requires a Pro subscription; check out [Hugging Face – Pricing](http://hf.co/pricing) to learn more. Make sure to include your HF token in your query."}

I think it’s because the API inference/client (not PRO) does not have enough memory to load Llama 2.

did you solve the issue? I am encountering same error. I have openAssistant model which works using inference endpoint.

but Llama 2 is giving me exception mentioned in question.  
when I test it in Huggingface inference UI it works there. what could be the reason?

I was getting this error and i solved it by invalidating and refreshing my hf token.
