# INT8 Quantization MCP

> INT8 Quantization MCP is a paid API for AI agents from api.m2mcent.com, paid per call via x402, $0.3/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-16).

Applies INT8 quantization to model weights or numerical data, reducing precision from higher bit-widths to 8-bit integers for efficient inference.

## 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 int8-quantization-mcp-cdbdca29 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Quantize this model weight data to INT8 format to reduce its size for faster inference — here's the raw data string to process.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a simple, pay-per-call API to apply INT8 quantization without setting up local quantization tooling. Best suited for agents that need on-demand model or tensor compression as part of an MLOps or deployment workflow, especially when local compute or quantization libraries are unavailable.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed data string returns a 400 error
- Data that cannot be meaningfully quantized to INT8 may return an error or degraded output
- Payment failure (x402) if USDC funds are insufficient
- Timeout for very large data payloads
- Precision loss warnings if input range is too wide for INT8 representation

## How this service works

The premier global index of 1,069 monetized MCP nodes across 205 specialized subdomains. Gasless USDC runtime settlements via x402 V2 Spec on Base L2. Save 95% token context.

## Output

Returns INT8-quantized output data derived from the input, typically including the quantized values and potentially scale/zero-point factors needed to reconstruct or use the quantized representation in inference pipelines.
