Client fit

Native route check · Best for model-specific payloads; run the route check first, then copy the schema-specific request from the playground.

Routing pinned

Copied snippets include gpu_type and region, so the first request targets this verified GPU and region. Remove those fields to let Forge choose another compatible target.

How we measure

Model time uses the p50 warm model-reported execution time when available, then falls back to the latest probe time; p95/p99 and sample count appear when there is enough probe history. Cold start excludes the first (uncached) run. VRAM is the peak GPU memory seen during the probe. Relative compares each row's model time to the highlighted baseline (fastest row by default; hover any row to re-root). The fastest chip marks only verified supported GPU-region rows. Estimated on-demand GPU price (Nebius pay-as-you-go); shown for performance/price comparison. Configured minimum GPU memory: 24 GB.

Deploy to Nebius Serverless

Run a dedicated, autoscaling endpoint in your own Nebius account. The endpoint runs under your account and billing — Forge just pre-fills the configuration for you.

Deploy in your Nebius account ↗

Opens the Nebius Console with the image pre-filled for NVIDIA Llama 3.2 NV-RerankQA 1B v2 (Forge version v1).

Prefer to create the endpoint from the CLI, or self-manage the container image? Use the commands below.

The image is hosted on cr.eu-north1.nebius.cloud; you may need registry credentials in the Console form. The CLI below includes placeholders.

The links use Forge’s eu-north1 Nebius Container Registry mirror. If your project can’t pull that private mirror, add pull credentials or a registry secret.

nebius CLI
# Runs in YOUR Nebius account (you own + pay for the endpoint).
# platform/preset must exist in your project — list them with:
#   nebius compute platform list
export ENDPOINT_NAME="nvidia-llama-3-2-nv-rerankqa-1b-v2-nim-private"
export AUTH_TOKEN=$(openssl rand -hex 32)
export SUBNET_ID=$(nebius vpc subnet list --format jsonpath='{.items[0].metadata.id}')
export REGISTRY_USERNAME="YOUR_REGISTRY_USERNAME"
export REGISTRY_PASSWORD="YOUR_REGISTRY_PASSWORD"

# Note: the --image above points at Forge's regional Nebius CR mirror.
#   Serverless AI can pull Container Registry images without credentials
#   only when the image is public or in the same project. For a private
#   mirror in another project, provide pull credentials or a MysteryBox
#   registry secret with REGISTRY_USERNAME and REGISTRY_PASSWORD.
