## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability anicca-gpu-container-rental-rent-a-box-33b57d6f -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Spin up a GPU container using the Docker image 'ghcr.io/my-org/llm-inference:latest' and give me the public URL I can hit — pay with USDC on Base, no account needed.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a temporary, publicly accessible GPU container without any cloud account setup, Solana wallet, or NOS tokens — ideal for one-off inference jobs, demos, or batch tasks where paying a flat USDC fee on Base is preferable to managing cloud credentials. Best for workloads that fit within 60 minutes and where a public URL is sufficient for interaction.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or inaccessible Docker image — container fails to pull and no URL is returned
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance on Base — request rejected before provisioning
- Container startup timeout — image too large or takes too long to initialize
- GPU capacity unavailable — no hardware available at time of request
- Container crashes at boot — misconfigured entrypoint or missing dependencies in image

## How this service works

Rent a GPU container for up to 60 minutes and get a public URL. You supply the image; we pay the market. No signup, no Solana wallet, no NOS token — pay USDC on Base and get a URL back in one call.

## Output

A public HTTP URL pointing to the running GPU container, valid for up to 60 minutes, along with session metadata. The container is live and addressable immediately after the call resolves.
