[BUG]: Base python client example fails (paddle model error)

[joaopcm1996]

Version

24.10.1

Which installation method(s) does this occur on?

Docker

Describe the bug.

Deployed nvingest with the docker compose from main branch, on H100's.

Tried to run the base python client example, with the default document in the notebook.

Immediately got an error in the handling of paddle NIM output.
Error logs extracted from nvingest runtime container.

Minimum reproducible example
