About NVIDIA Nemotron Nano 12B v2 VL (Free)
NVIDIA Nemotron Nano 12B v2 Vision-Language hosted free by NVIDIA. Accepts images; compact + fast.

Requests are paid for individually, in USDC, at the moment they are made.
What it costs

Calling it from your code
Pass nvidia/nemotron-nano-12b-v2-vl as the model field. Because the endpoint mirrors the OpenAI chat completions schema, any existing OpenAI client works by changing the base URL — streaming, tool use, and multi-turn messages all behave the same way.
The first request comes back as an HTTP 402 carrying a signed price quote. Your client signs that quote with a wallet holding USDC and retries; the second request returns the completion, and the payment settles on-chain. Client libraries handle this handshake for you, so in practice it is a single call. See the documentation for request and response shapes, or browse the full catalog of 71 chat models to compare alternatives.
