NVIDIA Build — free hosted inference endpoints
build.nvidia.com offers free API access to hosted models for prototyping once you join the NVIDIA Developer Program.
- Anyone with a verified NVIDIA account
- Catch: Prototyping use only: free-tier calls are rate-limited per model and by current traffic. NVIDIA does not publish one fixed limit and moderators say limits cannot be raised on the free tier (users report roughly 40 requests/min). Production needs paid or self-hosted NIM. Account verification (possibly including a phone number) may be required.
