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.
