## 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 gedx402-llama-3-1-8b-instruct-awq-x402-pay-per-call-153521cc
```

Example prompt: Ask Llama 3.1 8B to explain quantum entanglement in simple terms — send it as a user message with a max of 512 tokens, paying the $0.01 USDC fee on Base.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a lightweight, fast LLM chat completion (Llama 3.1 8B) without managing API keys, and your agent can pay with USDC on Base, Polygon, Arbitrum, World, or Solana via the x402 protocol. Ideal for pay-per-use agentic pipelines that want crypto-native billing and serverless scale via Cloudflare Workers AI.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not completed or insufficient USDC balance — 402 Payment Required returned before inference runs
- Invalid messages array structure (missing role or content fields) — likely 400 Bad Request
- max_tokens exceeds 4096 — validation error
- Cloudflare Workers AI backend timeout or model unavailability — 502/503 error
- Unsupported blockchain network provided for payment — payment rejected

## How this service works
