# glim.sh LLM Chat Completions

> glim.sh LLM Chat Completions is a paid API for AI agents from glim.sh, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-19).

OpenAI-compatible LLM chat completion endpoint supporting multiple frontier models with optional SSE streaming

## Facts

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 glim-sh-llm-chat-completions-bb5799d5 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Using the glim.sh inference endpoint with Claude Sonnet 4.5, send this conversation and stream back the response: system message is 'You are a helpful assistant', user message is 'Explain quantum entanglement in two sentences', with temperature 0.7 and max 200 tokens.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need pay-per-call LLM inference without managing API keys or subscriptions across multiple providers. Ideal for AI agents that need access to frontier models (Claude, Grok, Gemini, Qwen) through a single OpenAI-compatible interface billed via USDC micropayments. Best when you want model flexibility without committing to a single provider contract.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported model identifier returns 400 error
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance results in 402 Payment Required
- Exceeding max_tokens limit may truncate output
- Malformed messages array (missing role or content) returns validation error
- Temperature out of 0-2 range may cause rejection
- Model temporarily unavailable returns 503

## How this service works

LLM chat completion (OpenAI-compatible, streaming supported)

## Output

An OpenAI-compatible chat completion response containing the assistant's generated message, finish reason, and token usage statistics. When streaming is enabled, the response arrives as Server-Sent Events (SSE) with delta tokens.
