API returns "Not Found" / "Invalid Credentials" for any key from new verified accounts

Hello,

I am having a persistent issue with the Inference API. Any API key I generate results in a “Not Found” or “Invalid credentials” error.

I have performed extensive troubleshooting:

  • I tried multiple, brand-new accounts with successfully verified email addresses.
  • I tested with standard models like “distilbert-base-uncased”.
  • The error occurs when using both Python (requests library) and direct curl commands.
  • The error persists across different environments: my local PC, Replit, and Google Colab.
  • The error still occurs even when using a VPN connected to the USA.

Since I have ruled out all client-side and network issues, it seems the problem is with how my accounts are being provisioned on your platform. Could you please check the status of my accounts or advise on a solution?

Thank you.

Almost all specifications for the Inference API have been updated, so most of the old samples are no longer useful…
