Environment variables
  • NVIDIA_API_KEYsecretA free NVIDIA NIM key. Optional: without one every tool still runs the command, still keeps every byte, and still returns the exit code -- what is lost is the model's choice of lines, not the output. Also read from ~/.config/nvidia/api_key.

A starting point — check the repository for exact arguments and setup. Restart your client after editing the config.

[![sift — listed on Serverdex](https://serverdex.io/brand/badge.svg)](https://serverdex.io/server/io-github-slymnysr-sift?utm_source=badge)

Nice for visibility, but GitHub marks README links nofollow, so it doesn't pass authority. Use the HTML badge on your site as well.
