Llama 3.1 models continuously unavailable
I pay €9/month for access to models (particularly Llama 3.1 8B, 70B and 405B) through the Inference API.
NONE of these models have been available ("Service Unavailable") for several weeks now, despite being fully accessible at the start of my Pro subscription.
Even more concerning, my application's JSON formatting using Llama3.1-8B-Instruct was initially functioning correctly, but now the completions are subpar. They fail to produce valid JSON strings, hallucinate keys/values, or corrupt Unicode characters.
I haven't made any changes to my application, so it feels as though HuggingFace has replaced the original models with lower-precision, quantized versions.
I understand Hugging Face will do anything to force users to switch to dedicated endpoint instances ($$$), but this is UNACCEPTABLE.
