How this service works
Small language models that each do one job: compress long context, summarize, pull structured data out of text, and sort text into categories you define. A fraction of a general-purpose model's cost, and faster. Prepaid credits bought over a payment rail; no account, no API key.
Output
Returns a JSON object confirming the top-up, including the endpoint name ('topup'), the amount charged in USD, the payment status ('completed'), and the new token balance credited (e.g. 100,000,000 tokens).
Example use cases
Autonomous agent self-funding inference
“My agent is running low on ScaleDown inference tokens — go ahead and top up $5 USDC worth of credits so it can keep running SLM calls without interruption.”
No-signup inference access for new deployment
“I'm spinning up a new autonomous agent and need inference credits on ScaleDown without creating an account or dealing with API keys — pay $5 USDC and load up the token balance.”
Automated credit replenishment pipeline
“Whenever my ScaleDown token balance is near zero, automatically trigger a $5 USDC top-up using the agent payment rails to keep inference running continuously.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://agents.scaledown.ai/creditsWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when your autonomous agent needs to fund ScaleDown SLM inference on a pay-as-you-go basis with no signup, KYC, or API key — especially when operating over crypto/agent payment rails like x402. It is ideal for fully autonomous pipelines that need to self-fund inference capacity programmatically.
Side effects
- Insufficient USDC balance in the agent wallet — payment fails and no tokens are credited
- Payment rail not supported or misconfigured — results in payment error with no state change
- Duplicate payment attempt within a short window — may result in double charge if not idempotent
- Network or provider downtime — payment may be pending with delayed or missing credit confirmation
