command used to run (but it ain't provider issue):

g4f api --provider Blackbox

without --provider would be:

thought maybe it's the app that is buggy, but happened same in multiple app. so i guess it's a gpt4free issue.

The service provider responded with error codes 500 and 402. Consider using an alternative provider other than Liaobots. Asynchronous and synchronous methods are mixed in g4f. If you use the uvloop package and not asyncio as a web server, you can no longer nest it. Mostly, a switch to the AsyncClient helps.

@hlohaus buuut gui works. so i'm certain it's an api specific issue. without blackbox param it says:

ERROR:g4f.api:RetryProvider failed:
Blackbox: RuntimeError: this event loop is already running.
Liaobots: RuntimeError: this event loop is already running.

also...

no, i'm using regular

g4f api

[DarkReaperBoy]

so did

pip uninstall uvloop

and issue got solved. thanks!
