## 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 minichan-image-analysis-nvidia-nim-minimax-m3-172fc944 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you analyze this image at https://example.com/photo.jpg and tell me what objects, people, or text are visible in it?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need vision-language understanding powered by a large 428B MoE model, especially for nuanced scene description, visual question answering, or extracting detailed information from complex images. It is well-suited for agents that need to pay per-call in USDC via x402 with no API key setup.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or inaccessible image URL returns an error
- Image URL pointing to unsupported format may fail
- Missing required image_url field returns a validation error
- Network timeout if the image URL is slow to load
- Ambiguous or overly broad prompt may yield generic descriptions
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC) blocks the request
