Getting this error while trying to use MiniMax M2.7, just signed up for SambaNova. I’ve added a valid payment method, address and everything yet it still doesn’t work. How can I get it to work?

Seems to work now after ~20 min since I added it, perhaps it was just a bit slow. Thanks

@eddietoth1 It did look solid on my end so yes it must have been a batch operation slowness. At any rate I gave you an addition 5 dollars on top of your sign up credit to play with. Please not that when the credits exhaust or expire you will need to pre-pay for additional credits.

Happy coding!
