## 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 telnyx-x402-gateway-chat-completions-kimi-k2-6-321425f4 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Using the Kimi-K2.6 model on Telnyx's x402 gateway, send this conversation — system: 'You are a helpful assistant', user: 'Explain quantum entanglement in simple terms' — with a max of 512 tokens and temperature 0.7, paying per request in USDC.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need pay-per-request LLM inference with no subscription or API key commitment, paying in USDC via the x402 protocol. Ideal for autonomous agents, crypto-native apps, or prototypes that need OpenAI-compatible chat completions without account setup. Prefer this over standard OpenAI or Anthropic APIs when you want stablecoin micropayments and the Kimi-K2.6 model's reasoning capabilities specifically.

## Known failure modes

- Payment failure: insufficient USDC balance or x402 payment header missing/invalid returns 402 Payment Required
- Model overload: high-traffic periods may return 503 or timeout
- Message too long: content exceeding 12,000 characters per message is rejected
- Token limit exceeded: max_tokens above 1024 is rejected by schema validation
- Tool array overflow: more than 16 tools in the tools array causes a validation error
- Message array overflow: more than 32 messages causes a validation error

## How this service works

Pay USDC per request for Telnyx Inference and Audio (text-to-speech, speech-to-text) through x402.

## Output

Returns an OpenAI-compatible chat.completion JSON object containing the assistant's reply message, finish reason (e.g. 'stop'), and token usage breakdown (prompt tokens, completion tokens, total tokens), plus a unique completion ID.
