Calling it from your code

Pass nvidia/llama-3.2-11b-vision 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 returns a 402 carrying the exact price; a signed retry runs it, and client libraries fold the two into one call — how the payment works. See the documentation for request and response shapes, the LLM API page for every model on this endpoint, or browse the full catalog of 90 chat models to compare alternatives.

Is the Llama 3.2 11B Vision (Free) API OpenAI-compatible?

Yes. Send an OpenAI chat-completions request with "model": "nvidia/llama-3.2-11b-vision" to the BlockRun endpoint. An existing OpenAI client works by changing the base URL; streaming and multi-turn messages behave the same way.

Do I need an API key to use Llama 3.2 11B Vision (Free)?

What happens if Llama 3.2 11B Vision (Free) is unavailable?

A request that fails is not charged. If you set "allow_fallback": true, a failed call can be retried on NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Nano Omni (Free) instead, never at a higher price than you were quoted.

Two ways to run this

Get an API key

Sign in, get a key, and call the same endpoints with usage billed to your account. For teams that want one invoice instead of one wallet.

Get an API key 

Or let your agent pay per call, in USDC

No account, no API key. Three steps, and the last one is the request this page is about.

  1. 01
    Point your agent at BlockRun

    Install ClawRouter, or add the BlockRun MCP server to Claude Code, Cursor, Codex or OpenClaw. Any OpenAI-compatible client works too — change the base URL, nothing else.

    curl -fsSL https://blockrun.ai/ClawRouter-update | bash
  2. 02
    Fund a wallet with USDC

    Send USDC to a wallet on Base, Solana or Arc. There is no account to create and no API key to issue: the wallet is the account, and it pays per call.

  3. 03
    Call Llama 3.2 11B Vision (Free)

    The first call returns HTTP 402 with the exact price, your agent signs it, and the answer comes back. Payment settles on-chain; nothing is charged if the call fails.

    curl -X POST https://blockrun.ai/api/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model": "nvidia/llama-3.2-11b-vision", "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]}'
