Request for NVIDIA NIM API Rate Limit Increase for Academic Study Project

Hello NVIDIA Team,

I hope you are doing well.

I am currently working on an academic study project related to optical problems and computational reasoning. As part of this work, I would like to evaluate and compare different NVIDIA NIM models to better understand their performance, reasoning quality, and practical usefulness for this type of scientific/technical problem-solving.

At the moment, my account is limited to 40 requests per minute. This limit is helpful for initial testing, but it becomes restrictive when I try to run structured evaluations, compare several models, or perform repeated experiments in a consistent way.

Account details:

  • NVIDIA account email: I can provide it privately if needed.

  • API key ID / last 4 characters only: mBEz

  • Current limit: 40 RPM

  • Requested limit: 200 RPM, or any higher limit that would be possible for an academic/prototyping use case

Use case:
I am using NVIDIA NIM models for an academic project involving optical problem analysis and model comparison. I would like to test several models under realistic conditions, including repeated prompts, variations of the same problem, and comparative evaluations. A higher rate limit would make this work much more practical and would allow me to conduct the experiments more reliably.

This project is for university/academic study and prototyping purposes only.

I would be very grateful if you could consider increasing my rate limit. Any additional capacity you would be willing to provide would be extremely helpful for my work, and I would really appreciate your support.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

Best regards,
Olivier
