## 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 bitcoin-benji-ai-translation-de03f15d -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Translate this paragraph from English to Japanese: 'The Bitcoin mempool is currently congested with high-fee transactions.' — use a pay-per-call AI with no subscription, just a Lightning payment.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need pay-per-call AI translation with no API key registration, no subscription, and privacy-preserving inference. It is ideal for agents operating in Bitcoin/Lightning ecosystems, or when spending exactly $0.02 per translation call is preferable to flat monthly billing. Avoid it if you need bulk/batch translation at scale or if your infrastructure doesn't support L402/Lightning payments.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not completed or Lightning invoice expired — 402 Payment Required returned
- Invalid or malformed request body — 400 Bad Request
- Unsupported language pair — may return an error or low-quality output
- Lightning Network payment routing failure — call cannot proceed without successful payment
- Rate limiting or server unavailability — 503 or timeout
