# GEDX402 Llama-3-8B-Instruct-AWQ LLM

> GEDX402 Llama-3-8B-Instruct-AWQ LLM is a paid API for AI agents from chat.gedx402.com, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Runs inference on Meta's Llama 3 8B Instruct (AWQ quantized) model via Cloudflare Workers AI, payable per-call with USDC — no API key required.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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-3-8b-instruct-awq-llm-a78fa1fa
```

Example prompt: Ask the Llama 3 8B model: 'You are a helpful assistant.' then as the user say 'Explain the theory of relativity in two sentences.' and limit the reply to 200 tokens — pay with USDC on Base, no API key needed.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a lightweight, fast, open-source LLM (Llama 3 8B) with no API key registration, paying micro-amounts of USDC on-chain. Ideal for agents operating in crypto-native environments or pipelines that use the x402 payment protocol, and when GPT-4 class quality is not required.

## Known failure modes

- Insufficient USDC balance causes payment failure and 402 response
- max_tokens exceeds 4096 causes validation error
- Malformed messages array (missing role or content) causes 400 error
- Network timeout on Cloudflare Workers edge
- Unsupported blockchain network specified for payment

## How this service works

x402 workers ai. pay with usdc on base, polygon, arbitrum, world, or solana. no api keys.

## Output

A JSON object containing the model identifier (@cf/meta/llama-3-8b-instruct-awq) and a 'response' string with the assistant's generated text reply.
