Unable to Access Gated Model meta-llama/Llama-3.2-1B Despite Approved Access

Hi Hugging Face Support Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I’m encountering an issue while trying to access the gated model meta-llama/Llama-3.2-1B. Despite having my access request approved, I am still receiving a 403 Forbidden error when attempting to download the model.

Details of the Issue:

  1. Model Name:
    meta-llama/Llama-3.2-1B

  2. Error Message:

    HTTPError: 403 Client Error: Forbidden for url: https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Llama-3.2-1B/resolve/main/config.json

    The full traceback includes:

    OSError: You are trying to access a gated repo. Make sure to have access to it at https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Llama-3.2-1B.
403 Client Error. (Request ID: Root=1-67ef2363-42b58be57736a28811717ca5;f127327b-3d0a-4879-9332-7afaec78ec7d)

  3. Environment:

    • Platform: Google Colab (Free Tier)
    • Libraries Installed:
      • transformers: Latest version (pip install -U transformers)
      • huggingface_hub: Latest version (pip install -U huggingface_hub)
    • Authentication Method:
      • Logged in via huggingface-cli login and also tried passing the token explicitly in the code.

  4. Steps Taken So Far:

    • Verified that my access was granted on the model page: meta-llama/Llama-3.2-1B.
    • Generated a new Hugging Face token and used it in my script.
    • Cleared the cache directory (~/.cache/huggingface/) to ensure no corrupted files were causing the issue.
    • Tested with a public model (bert-base-uncased) to confirm my setup works correctly.

  5. Code Used:

    from transformers import AutoTokenizer

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(
    'meta-llama/Llama-3.2-1B',
    trust_remote_code=True,
    token="my_huggingface_token_here"
)

  6. Expected Behavior:
    The model files should download successfully since my access has been approved.

  7. Actual Behavior:
    The process fails with a 403 Forbidden error, indicating I do not have access to the repository.

Request for Assistance:

Could you please verify the following?

  1. Whether my access to meta-llama/Llama-3.2-1B has been fully granted.
  2. If there are any additional steps I need to take to authenticate or access the model.
  3. Whether there are any known issues with accessing this model in a Google Colab environment.

Any guidance or clarification would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know if you need further details from my side.

Thank you for your time and support!
