# dev-5090 Vision / Image Understanding (Text-Fallback)

> dev-5090 Vision / Image Understanding (Text-Fallback) is a paid API for AI agents from pearl-valium-stickers-upc.trycloudflare.com, paid per call via x402, $0.02/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-31).

Accepts image understanding requests but currently responds with text-only fallback output — no vision model is loaded; priced accordingly at $0.02 USDC.

## 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 dev-5090-vision-image-understanding-text-fallback-399f1d2b -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you describe what's in this image using the local uncensored inference endpoint — I need to keep the image off cloud providers and I know it's currently text-fallback mode?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a privacy-preserving, uncensored vision or image-understanding call routed through a local GPU (RTX 5090) rather than a cloud provider, and you are comfortable operating in text-fallback mode during the preview period. It is priced cheaply ($0.02) to reflect the degraded capability. Avoid if you need real image analysis — wait until the vision model is loaded.

## Known failure modes

- Vision model not loaded — endpoint always returns text fallback, not true image understanding
- Payment failure if x402 USDC payment header is missing or insufficient ($0.02 required)
- Malformed input schema — 'choices' and 'usage' are listed as output-shaped fields, not typical input; correct vision payload format may differ
- Cloudflare tunnel downtime — trycloudflare.com URLs are ephemeral and may go offline
- No actual OCR, object detection, or image captioning while in preview/fallback mode

## How this service works

[preview] Image understanding. Currently TEXT-FALLBACK ONLY — no vision model is loaded. Priced accordingly.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a 'choices' array containing the model's text response (currently a text-only fallback, not real vision output) and a 'usage' object with token consumption statistics. No actual image analysis is performed while in text-fallback mode.
