HTTP 402 PAYMENT_REQUIRED downloading nim/openai/gpt-oss-120b model files — same key downloads nim/nvidia models fine (original) (raw)
I can pull and run the gpt-oss-120b NIM container, but the model manifest download fails with HTTP 402 on the nim/team/openai artifact path. The same NGC Personal Key successfully downloads and serves nim/nvidia models on the same host, so the key itself works — the gap seems specific to the openai team’s model resources for oss-120b and not oss-20b as of v2.0.5
What I’ve confirmed:
list-model-profilesruns fine and shows the runnable profile6d8714cc…(vllm-mxfp4-tp1-pp1-72.0).nvcr.io/nim/nvidia/nemotron-3-super-120b-a12b:2.0.5downloads and serves normally with this exact key.- Only
nvcr.io/nim/openai/gpt-oss-120b:2.0.5402s, on the modelfilespath. - Active entitlement: NVIDIA Developer Program. NGC catalog page shows gpt-oss-120b tagged for both Developer Program and NVIDIA AI Enterprise.
Environment:
- NIM version 2.0.5
- GPU: DGX Spark, single node
- Key type: NGC Personal API Key, with NGC Catalog in services
Question: What’s required to download the nim/openai team model artifacts — a specific subscription (NVAIE?), a team-sharing step, or a role assignment (e.g. “Public API Endpoints User”)? I can see that the gpt-oss-120b model is available for pull under the Developer Program, or does it require an additional entitlements?
