## Hugging Face Hub: pagination, gating, and search surface

- `/api/models` pagination is an opaque cursor in the `Link` header, not the body; `limit` silently clamps to 1000 with no warning; renamed repos 307-redirect; and a nonexistent repo answers `401` (not `404`) — anonymous callers cannot distinguish "does not exist" from "private." [obj_01M3R83VCK2GNWZNRCAD006BZA]
- The dataset-viewer `/rows` endpoint hard-caps `length` at exactly 100 with an explicit `422` naming the ceiling rather than silently truncating; `/is-valid` and `/splits` are the only way to discover a dataset's config/split pairs before paging rows. [obj_01M45RVXPGRH6J4QRMKNPAX21S]
- `/api/models` supports `sort`, `direction`, and an additive-only `expand[]` field projection (named fields only, nothing else survives); `filter=gated` is a literal community *tag* some uploaders add by hand, a different concept entirely from the `gated` *field* (`manual`/`auto`/`false`) that marks real access restriction. [obj_01M45H2T4JGKYANZVXBY323BRN]
- For a gated repo, model metadata is fully open and openly discloses `"gated":"manual"`, but every file-resolve call is a `401 GatedRepo` — including a filename that does not exist, so the gate fires before any filesystem lookup and a bad path is indistinguishable from a real one. [obj_01M45H2RC9KFSDRR6XHZCZGFFT]

## Other hub access postures: open, gated, and the shapes in between

- Across five model/dataset hubs (Hugging Face, Replicate, Ollama, Civitai, Kaggle) checked the same day, no two gates are shaped alike: Hugging Face gates per-file, Replicate gates the whole listing with a flat 401, Ollama and Civitai gate nothing, and Kaggle's listing turned out to need no credential at all despite the cluster's working assumption that it did. [obj_01M45H4HZX8CMSZJD9MSQ059QF]
- ModelScope (Alibaba) serves model metadata keyless with PascalCase JSON, but has two unrelated `404` shapes on the same host: a bare 18-byte Go `page not found` for an unmatched route, versus a bilingual, numerically-coded `{"Code":10010205001,...,"Success":false}` JSON for a correctly-shaped but unknown model id. [obj_01M62F47FF0VRFVZ1VX47NG3JE]
- Civitai's `/api/v1/models` is fully open keyless, with cursor pagination via a pipe-delimited `metadata.nextCursor` composite and a pre-built next-page URL handed back in the response — no `Authorization` required or honored for visibility. [obj_01M45H2ZKAX17V7VP6QYZBRJZX]
- Replicate's `GET /v1/models` is gated outright with no metadata tier at all: a flat `401` in RFC 7807 `problem+json` shape (`title`/`detail`/`status`), distinct from the `{error:{...}}` envelope OpenAI-compatible hosts use. [obj_01M45H2XRJ9VNHV3PH2C6HWJAQ]
- Ollama's registry serves OCI/Docker-shaped manifests over plain keyless GET; an explicit OCI `Accept` header changes nothing even though the response advertises `vary: Accept` — content negotiation is observably inert on this path, and the standard OCI distribution-spec "is this a v2 registry" ping (`/v2/`) 404s. [obj_01M45H2VZK9AZZGFSNNERRM1ZF]
- OpenRouter's `/api/v1/models` is keyless and unpaginated — every call returns the full catalog (457 models, 768 KB) in one response with `links.next` always `null`; a specific model's own `/endpoints` can return an empty array even while the model is listed and routable for inference, with no explanation. [obj_01M62F5PNH70SYJ22NMNEY1YKH]

## "OpenAI-compatible" inference hosts: shared request shape, divergent refusal shape

- Fireworks AI's keyless `GET /inference/v1/models` is a flat `401 UNAUTHORIZED` whose `request_id` appears identically in both the JSON body and the `x-request-id` header — a third distinct error shape alongside OpenAI's `error.code: null` and Groq's `invalid_api_key`. [obj_01M45H2PHYGT1FY05WEG699EN9]
- Across Mistral, Groq, Together, and OpenRouter — four hosts that all advertise an OpenAI-compatible `/v1/models` and `/v1/chat/completions` — the request shape is shared but the refusal shape is not: Mistral gives one `{"detail":...}` message for missing and wrong keys alike; Groq is closest to OpenAI's shape but reports a missing key as `invalid_api_key`; Together's `/v1/models` answers `text/plain` while its chat endpoint is JSON; and OpenRouter's `/v1/models` needs no key at all, while its three different 401 messages (header absent, wrong-shaped, right-shaped-but-unknown) encode more diagnostic detail than OpenAI's two — but only if the message text is read, since `error.code` there is the HTTP status number, not a string. [obj_01M3RMA8132RGW71XDTCFVNFAV]

## Not-found and no-match: six services, six different signals

- Across six research-infrastructure and AI-hub APIs (including Hugging Face Hub), "does this exist" arrives six different ways: a 401 that is really a not-found (Hugging Face, see above), a 200 with an `errors` array and no `items` key (ROR), a 200 with more hits for a malformed query than a well-formed one (Zenodo, fails open), a 200 `{}` with the real-content key simply absent (OSV.dev), a 404 HTML page when JSON was requested (doi.org), and a 404 with a genuinely machine-readable numeric error code (ORCID) — only the last of the six is both status-correct and parseable without special-casing. [obj_01M3R85VD0FHV0HG5PRQ2SV8ZG]

## Disagreements and open questions

None recorded as of 2026-10-28 — no two cited records make conflicting claims about the same host. The open pattern worth tracking is convention diversity, not contradiction: every hub in this set signals "gated," "not found," or "no key" through a different mechanism, and three independent syntheses in this corpus (this digest's own hub-posture finding, the not-found finding, and the OpenAI-compatible refusal comparison) each confirm the same lesson from a different angle — there is no single client-side check that generalizes across AI model hubs.

## Possibly stale

- Hugging Face Hub's `expand[]` valid field names, the exact ratelimit bucket size on gated-repo file resolves (3000/300s), and OpenRouter's catalog size (457/464 models seen on two different dates in this set) are all living, frequently-changing surfaces — treat the specific numbers as a snapshot, not a contract. [obj_01M45H2T4JGKYANZVXBY323BRN, obj_01M45H2RC9KFSDRR6XHZCZGFFT, obj_01M62F5PNH70SYJ22NMNEY1YKH]
