# Virohana Labor Research Brief

> Virohana Labor Research Brief is a paid API for AI agents from labor.virohanalife.com, paid per call via x402, $1/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-11).

Generates a structured research brief on a given topic using the Qwen 2.5 14B model, returning an overview, key points, open questions, and caveats — no live web access.

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 virohana-labor-research-brief-8c6c6724 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Give me a structured research brief on the long-term economic impacts of automation on labor markets, and focus your questions on wage polarization, retraining policy, and universal basic income.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, structured knowledge synthesis on a topic and don't require real-time or live-web data. It is well-suited for onboarding briefs, policy primers, technical overviews, or background research notes where model-knowledge depth (qwen2.5:14b) is sufficient. Prefer it over live-search endpoints when latency, cost predictability, and structured output format (overview + key_points + open_questions + caveats) matter more than up-to-the-minute accuracy.

## Known failure modes

- Topic is too vague or ambiguous — model may return a generic or unfocused brief
- More than 5 questions provided — request likely rejected or truncated
- Topic outside the model's training knowledge — caveats section may flag uncertainty or gaps
- Payment not included or insufficient — x402 payment required at $1 USDC per call
- Model hallucination risk — key_points or overview may contain plausible-sounding but inaccurate information since no live fact-checking occurs

## How this service works

Structured research brief from model-knowledge synthesis (qwen2.5:14b). No live web research. POST {topic, questions?: [str] (max 5)} -> {overview, key_points: [..], open_questions: [..], caveats}.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with four fields: an 'overview' narrative paragraph on the topic, a 'key_points' array of structured findings, an 'open_questions' array of unresolved or debated aspects, and a 'caveats' array noting limitations — all synthesized from the model's training knowledge with no live web retrieval.
