## 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 netintel-dev-gpt-4-1-mini-chat-completion-x402-2d35b967 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Ask gpt-4.1-mini: 'You are a helpful assistant. Explain the difference between TCP and UDP in plain English, in under 150 words.' Use up to 300 output tokens and a temperature of 0.7.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an agent needs GPT-4.1-mini chat completions without managing an OpenAI account, API key, or subscription billing — ideal for pay-per-use agent pipelines, serverless workflows, or rapid prototyping where x402 USDC micropayments are acceptable. Prefer this over the gpt-4.1 sibling endpoint when cost and speed matter more than maximum capability, and over gpt-4.1-nano when output quality needs to be a step above the smallest model.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received or x402 handshake fails — request rejected before model is called
- Input messages total exceeds ~12,000 character cap — request rejected or truncated
- max_tokens exceeds 2048 cap — clamped to 2048 silently or rejected
- Malformed messages array (missing role or content fields) — schema validation error
- Transient OpenAI API outage upstream — 502 or 503 returned
- Network timeout if model inference takes too long

## How this service works

Call OpenAI's gpt-4.1-mini via a single pay-per-call x402 endpoint — no OpenAI account or API key needed, pay $0.005 per request in USDC. Standard OpenAI chat.completions request/response shape, capped input and output. Search terms: OpenAI, gpt-4.1-mini, chat completion, LLM, no API key.

## Output

Returns a standard OpenAI chat.completion JSON object containing: the assistant's reply text in choices[0].message.content, finish_reason (e.g. 'stop'), token usage breakdown (prompt_tokens, completion_tokens, total_tokens), model name, completion ID, and Unix creation timestamp. Output is capped at 2048 tokens.
