What issue are you seeing?

It is not permitted for Venezuela, to be “open” and ‘free’ it has a strong component of geographical discrimination. I am not affiliated with any government entity in my country or any “sanctioned” person, nor am I a threat or supporter of such systems. I am just a frontend developer learning about AI tools to use them in my workflow.

Another thing: I find it completely absurd and unnecessary to be asked to “log in” to run a model locally using my own PC.

All I get is this error message:

{

"error": {
"code": "unsupported_country_region_territory",
"message": "Country, region, or territory not supported",
"param": null,
"type": "request_forbidden"
}

}

What steps can reproduce the bug?

be a venezuelan in Venezuela... or just using a VPN

What is the expected behavior?
