# Monexus Terminal — AI Capex & Model-Economy Metrics

> Monexus Terminal — AI Capex & Model-Economy Metrics is a paid API for AI agents from terminal.themonexus.com, paid per call via x402, $0.002/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Returns time-series and snapshot data points for AI capital expenditure and model-economy metrics including fundraising rounds, cloud infrastructure growth, memory prices, and token costs.

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 monexus-terminal-ai-capex-model-economy-metrics-a41b325c -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest 30 data points for the HBM memory price metric from Monexus Terminal so I can see how memory costs have trended recently.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need quantitative, time-series or snapshot metrics specifically about the AI model economy — covering capex, cloud growth, semiconductor memory pricing, token costs, or fundraising totals. Prefer it over general financial data APIs when the focus is AI infrastructure economics. Use the companion metrics-list endpoint first if you are unsure which metric names are available.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized metric name returns an error or empty dataset
- limit parameter exceeding 50 is rejected or capped
- Payment not received (402) blocks response
- Metric has no recent data points resulting in an empty array
- Network timeout if the data service is under load

## How this service works

Monexus Terminal API — AI-capex / model-economy metrics (raises, cloud growth, memory prices, token costs). Params: metric, limit (<=50).

## Output

Returns an array of up to 50 data points for the requested metric, each containing the metric name, value, timestamp, and relevant context such as source or unit. Covers AI capex categories including cloud growth rates, memory (HBM/DRAM) prices, token inference costs, and funding raise totals.
