## 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 gpuops-ai-image-generation-8a7f5dfa -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Generate an image of a futuristic cityscape at sunset with neon lights reflecting off wet streets — use the best available image generation model on GPUOps.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need pay-per-call AI image generation without a subscription, want OpenAI API compatibility, and are operating in a crypto-native or x402-enabled payment environment using USDC on Base. Ideal for agents that need autonomous, programmatic image generation with microtransaction billing and access to a broad selection of 63+ models.

## Known failure modes

- Insufficient USDC balance or x402 payment failure — returns 402 Payment Required
- Invalid or unsupported model name — returns 400 or 422 with model not found error
- Empty or missing prompt — returns 400 Bad Request
- Prompt violates content policy — returns 400 or 403 with content policy violation message
- Service overload or model unavailability — returns 503 or 500 error

## How this service works

OpenAI-compatible AI inference API with 63 models. x402 pay-per-call with USDC on Base.

## Output

Returns an OpenAI-compatible images response object containing the generated image, typically as a URL or base64-encoded image data, along with metadata such as the model used and creation timestamp.
