## 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-glm-5-3-flash-chat-completions-cd8866dc -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Using the Telnyx GLM-5.3-Flash inference gateway, send these messages — system: 'You are a helpful assistant', user: 'Explain quantum entanglement in two sentences' — with temperature 0.7 and max 512 tokens, and pay the per-request USDC fee automatically.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, OpenAI-compatible chat completion using the GLM-5.3-Flash model and want to pay per-request in USDC without a subscription or API key setup. Ideal for autonomous agents that need on-demand LLM inference with crypto-native micropayments via x402, particularly when avoiding centralized billing or when running sporadic, pay-as-you-go inference workloads.

## Known failure modes

- Payment failure if USDC balance is insufficient or x402 payment header is missing/malformed
- Model or route unavailable (5xx errors from Telnyx inference backend)
- Message content exceeds 32,000 character limit per message
- Too many messages in the conversation (exceeds 32-message limit)
- max_tokens out of range (must be 512–2048)
- Temperature out of range (must be 0–2)
- Too many tool definitions (exceeds 16-tool limit)

## 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 JSON object with a choices array containing the assistant's generated message, finish reason, token usage breakdown (prompt, completion, total tokens), and a unique completion ID.
