## 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 farout-deepseek-v4-pro-chat-completions-x402-6ac5010f -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Ask DeepSeek V4 Pro to write a Python function that sorts a list of dictionaries by a given key, with a max output of 512 tokens — and pay for it with USDC on Base, no API key needed.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need DeepSeek V4 Pro specifically for deep reasoning or coding tasks and want true pay-per-call billing in USDC with no API key, no account, and no prepaid credits — ideal for autonomous agents or scripts that must operate without pre-registered credentials.

## Known failure modes

- Insufficient USDC balance or failed x402 payment — returns 402 Payment Required
- Invalid or unsupported model ID — returns 400 Bad Request
- messages array is empty or malformed — returns 400 validation error
- max_tokens or max_completion_tokens set too low for the requested output — truncated response with finish_reason=length
- Network timeout on long reasoning outputs — connection dropped mid-stream when streaming is enabled
