Request for NIM Entitlement Verification and NGC API Key

Our organization is part of the NVIDIA Connect program, and we’re currently evaluating NVIDIA NIM.

We had a few questions regarding access:

  • How can we verify whether NIM entitlements are enabled for our NVIDIA Connect organization?

  • We don’t currently have an NGC API key. Is this something that should be provided automatically, or is there a separate process to request one?

  • Does being a NVIDIA Connect partner automatically include access to NVIDIA NIM, or are additional model-specific entitlements required?

  • Does NVIDIA NIM support Vision Language Models (VLMs), or is such support planned?

We’d appreciate any guidance on the required steps to get started with NIM.

Thank you!
