The token might be missing or may not have access. Recheck that.

[This format’s endpoint has probably been discontinued](https://discuss.huggingface.co/t/dumb-question-seeing-that-my-inference-api-links-not-working/162505), so you will need to find a new endpoint URL. It should be relatively easy to find by searching from the Deploy button [on the model page](https://huggingface.co/models?inference_provider=all&sort=trending).
