The only remaining requirement is the final coding quiz.\n\nWhenever I submit my solution, I receive the error “Failed to resolve [api-inference.huggingface.co](http://api-inference.huggingface.co)” (attach snapshot).\n\nI have already tried multiple times:\n\nChrome, Firefox, Incognito mode, different Wi-Fi networks, mobile hotspot, laptop, and mobile phone, waiting more than 5 days.\n\nThe problem persists, so it appears to be a server-side issue.\n\nMy Hugging Face username: Maleeha Riaz\n\nCould you please investigate?
