# Nova AI Inference API — Batch Endpoint

> Nova AI Inference API — Batch Endpoint is a paid API for AI agents from noa.orbonomy.xyz, paid per call via x402, $0.1/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Runs one or more AI inference tasks (chat, reasoning, translation, analysis, generation) in a single batch call, paid per-call in USDC on Base via x402.

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 nova-ai-inference-api-batch-endpoint-6e364ae7 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you send these 5 customer support messages to Nova for analysis — run them concurrently using the default model — and tell me what each one is asking for?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to process multiple AI inference tasks in a single HTTP call and want to pay per-use in USDC on Base without a subscription. It is especially useful for batch workflows (translation, analysis, chat, generation) where parallel execution via the concurrent flag can reduce latency. Prefer it over single-call endpoints when you have multiple items to process simultaneously.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received or insufficient USDC — 402 Payment Required
- Invalid or missing items array — 400 Bad Request
- Unsupported model name — 400 or 422 error
- Inference timeout for large or complex batch — 504 or partial results
- Concurrent flag conflict with item count — undefined behavior or error

## How this service works

Pay-per-call AI inference. Chat, reason, translate, analyze, generate. USDC on Base.

## Output

A JSON object with a success flag, a results array (each item has an id, output text, and usage stats), total token usage across the batch, and the count of items processed.
