I thought today I will give huggingface a try because it seems to be the easiest option to run LLAMA-2. So I followed this example:

And pasted in my access token. However I always get a HTTP 403 error. What could be wrong?

After googling some more I figured out what the problem is: After getting authorized by Meta you also need to get authorization by HF which can be requested by pressing the button here: [meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-chat-hf · Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-chat-hf)

So much drama with the llama!
