Perception-LM-8 model access rejected

#1
by tekinb - opened

I have filled in all the information correctly in the form for model access (with the correct job title and affiliation), however the access was promptly rejected for all the Perception-LM models (1B, 3B and 8B). May I ask for the reason for rejection and kindly ask to reconsider?

I suspect it's due to your country profile.
Meta has an automated screener that rejects access from China, Russia etc for PLM AFAIK. We are not allowed to manually approve or reject.
Thanks for your understanding.

Is it also not allowed in Switzerland?

I'm not aware of any restriction for Switzerland.
Maybe check your VPN settings if any as well.

Indeed I was on VPN from Ireland, not sure if there is any restriction for Ireland, but what would be the way to re-ask for access? Currently, the request seems rejected and a re-application form/button is not visible.

I think it's probably from affiliation "Meta". I was rejected from this too when trying to download llama3.3.
According to an internal post, I switched to use "Meta Platforms LLC" as affiliation and had no issues downloading llama4 or other gated models from Meta since.

We forwarded your request. But, at present, if you want an immediate access, you probably have to use a different HF account.
