Not able to serve or interact with LLMs in Databricks free

Hi there,

Just testing the new Databricks free edition. Was trying to play around with LLMs, but I', not able to create serving endpoints with foundational model entities, interact with pay-per-token foundational model APIs or use them in Databricks apps.

With pay-per-token foundational model APIs I get the error below (for any chosen model, not just llama-4-maverick):

{"error_code":"PERMISSION_DENIED","message":"PERMISSION_DENIED: Endpoint databricks-llama-4-maverick is not allowed to be used by your workspace. Please reach out to Databricks to enable this endpoint for your workspace or upgrade your workspace tier."}

 With serving endpoints I cannot create them as any possible entity have provisioned throughput I cannot disable/lower to 0.

Anyone had any luck playing with building apps or serving endpoints using LLMs with Databricks free? I cannot see from the limitations page that there should be any issue.
