## Deploying a Parasail Endpoint for a Private Model

In order to deploy a Parasail dedicated endpoint for a private model from HuggingFace, you need to follow these steps:

- **Make your model private in HuggingFace.**  
  - Go to the settings page of your model.  
  - At the top of the page, click on the button `Make private`.  
    
  
  - After the model becomes private, you should see the following:

- **Create a HuggingFace access token with fine-grained permissions that only allows access to your private model.**  
  - On the `Access Tokens` page, click on the button `Create new token`.  
  - Leave token type as `Fine-grained` and write a name for your access token.  
    
  
  - Scroll down to the section `Repositories permissions`.  
    
  
  - In the textbox `Search for repos`, type the name of your model (for example `meta-llama/Llama-3.2-1 B`).  
  - Leave the permission to be `Read access to contents of selected repos`.  
    
  
  - Click on the button `Create token` at the bottom of the page.
  
  - Copy the access token that is generated.

- **Create a dedicated deployment in Parasail.**  
  
  - Click on the button `Create Dedicated Model` on the Parasail dashboard.
  - Copy your model name (for example `meta-llama/Llama-3.2-1 B`) into the textbox `HuggingFace ID / URL`.
  - Copy your access token to the textbox `HuggingFace Token`.  
    
  
  - Click on the button `Deploy`.
