# PreReason AI Compute and Power Chain

> PreReason AI Compute and Power Chain is a paid API for AI agents from api.prereason.com, paid per call via x402, $0.05/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-12).

Returns AI infrastructure metrics combining Korea semiconductor exports, US grid demand (Lower 48/ERCOT/PJM vs year-ago), and Bitcoin miner SEC-filed AI hosting agreements with megawatts, customers, terms, and revenue

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 prereason-ai-compute-and-power-chain-127fef3e
```

Example prompt: Pull me today's AI compute and power chain briefing — I want to see US grid demand for the Lower 48, ERCOT, and PJM versus a year ago, Korea's semiconductor export figures, and the latest Bitcoin miner AI hosting agreements from SEC filings, in markdown format.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a cross-asset, multi-source briefing on the AI compute infrastructure theme — specifically the intersection of power grid demand, semiconductor supply chain, and Bitcoin miner pivot to AI hosting. It is uniquely suited for financial research agents tracking the AI infrastructure investment thesis, energy analysts monitoring data center power consumption trends, or crypto analysts comparing miner revenue streams. Prefer this over generic energy or crypto APIs when you need all three data streams (Korea semis, US grid demand, miner SEC filings) in a single call with PreReason's derived metrics like hosting revenue per megawatt.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid date format returns 400 — must match YYYY-MM-DD pattern
- Date outside available historical record returns no data or error
- Invalid format parameter (not 'json' or 'markdown') returns validation error
- Payment not included or invalid returns 402 Payment Required
- EIA-930, Korea Customs, or SEC data source unavailable may return stale or partial data

## How this service works

Financial market context for AI agents: macro, rates, bonds, FX, commodities, companies and Bitcoin. One API call returns a briefing with the reasoning already in it.

## Output

Returns a structured briefing (JSON or token-optimized markdown) with: Korea Customs Service semiconductor export figures (20-day, YoY change, share of all exports); 7-day average US grid demand for Lower 48, ERCOT, and PJM vs same dates a year earlier plus 365-day trailing vs prior 365; all SEC-reported Bitcoin miner AI hosting agreements with megawatts, customer, term, contracted revenue, and filing reference; contracted hosting revenue per gross megawatt per year vs mining revenue per gross megawatt at current hashprice; and top-level metrics including hashprice, bitcoin price, and bitcoin hash rate.
