## 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-pay-per-call-llm-inference-minimax-m3-via-x402-5919ea5f -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Ask MiniMax M3 to write a concise Python function that parses a JSON array of user objects and returns only those with a verified email, using up to 512 output tokens and paying per call with my USDC wallet.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an autonomous agent or application needs MiniMax M3 specifically, requires pay-per-call USDC billing with no prepaid account or API key, and operates in a crypto-native or x402-compatible environment on Base. Prefer this over OpenAI or Anthropic direct APIs when you need keyless, wallet-based micropayment access to a frontier model.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received or insufficient USDC balance — returns 402 Payment Required
- Invalid or unsupported model ID — returns 400 Bad Request
- messages array is empty or malformed — returns 422 Unprocessable Entity
- max_tokens exceeds model context limit — returns 400 or truncated response
- Network timeout if streaming connection is dropped mid-response
