# Numora Optimization Solver

> Numora Optimization Solver is a paid API for AI agents from numormor.netlify.app, paid per call via x402, $0.1/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Solves mathematical optimization problems (minimization/maximization) for a given function and initial guess using numerical methods

## Facts

- Endpoint: POST https://numormor.netlify.app/api/solve/optimization
- Price: $0.1/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-09-14
- Activations on Zero: 0
- Tags: x402
- Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/numora-optimization-solver-086dfa2b
- Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_APsD8EDpcDOF1zf5plL0A

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 numora-optimization-solver-086dfa2b -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Use the Numora optimization solver to find the minimum of the function f(x, y) = (x - 2)^2 + (y + 1)^2, starting from the initial guess [0, 0] using the default method.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need serverless, zero-dependency numerical optimization of a mathematical function — especially for unconstrained minimization or maximization problems where you can express the objective as a string formula and provide a starting point. Prefer this over general-purpose code execution when you want a fast, pure-math result without setting up a compute environment.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unparseable function expression returns error
- Initial guess array has wrong dimensionality for the function
- Optimization fails to converge from the given starting point
- Unsupported method string causes rejection
- Missing required fields fn or guess returns 400-level error
- Payment not provided or insufficient returns 402

## How this service works

100 pure math computation endpoints for AI agents. Statistics, financial math, linear algebra, equation solving, calculus, number theory, sequence generation, and unit conversions. Zero external dependencies. x402 micropayments on Base.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with success=true, a result object containing the optimal point and optimal value found, and a human-readable computation string describing what was solved and how.
