Hi NVIDIA team,

I’m getting 403 Forbidden “Authorization failed” when calling the hosted image generation endpoint, even with a freshly generated API key from the model page.

Account email: [usergenshin.tran35@gmail.com](mailto:usergenshin.tran35@gmail.com)

Organization: Personal

Endpoint: [https://ai.api.nvidia.com/v1/genai/black-forest-labs/flux.1-schnell](https://ai.api.nvidia.com/v1/genai/black-forest-labs/flux.1-schnell)

Model: black-forest-labs/flux.1-schnell

What works: LLM chat completion models with my NVIDIA\_API\_KEY

What fails: POST to the genai/image endpoint → 403 Authorization failed

(tested with both my general API key and a model-specific key generated from the model’s “Get API Key” button — same result)

Could you please enable “Public API Endpoints” access for image/visual models on my Personal organization?

Thank you!

Hello, is it possible to unlock models? I have been receiving for every viable route (cosmos3-nano, cosmos-1.0 t2v/v2w, transfer2.5, stable-video-diffusion) : `Not found for account`
