How this service works
OpenAI-compatible chat completions served by a self-hosted 27B open-weight LLM. Pay per call in USDC on Base via x402 - no API key or account. Use it for text generation, summarization, classification and agent tool calls that need cheap, private inference. Send a messages array (plus optional model, max_tokens, temperature); receive standard OpenAI chat.completion JSON. A free trial (POST /v1/trial) is open during promo windows.
Output
A standard OpenAI chat.completion JSON object containing an 'id', 'object', 'created', 'model', 'choices' array (each with a 'message' object holding 'role' and 'content', plus a 'finish_reason'), and a 'usage' object showing prompt_tokens, completion_tokens, and total_tokens.
Example use cases
Cheap private text summarization
“Summarize this 2,000-word legal contract into the 5 most important points — use the self-hosted open-weight model so it stays private and I'll pay per call in USDC.”
Agent tool call with open-weight model
“My agent needs to classify incoming customer support tickets as 'billing', 'technical', or 'other' — route them through the erb-llm 27B model and keep max_tokens at 50 so it stays fast and cheap.”
Anonymous LLM completion without signup
“Write me a short product description for a noise-cancelling headphone called SoundZen — use temperature 0.7, up to 200 tokens, and don't require me to create an account anywhere.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.erb-llm.com/v1/chat/completionsWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need cheap, pay-per-call LLM inference with no API key, no account registration, and no subscription — especially for agents that handle crypto (USDC on Base) natively via x402. It is ideal for privacy-sensitive workloads on a self-hosted open-weight model, or when you want OpenAI-compatible chat completions without being locked into OpenAI or Anthropic pricing tiers. Prefer alternatives like OpenAI or Anthropic if you need the very latest frontier models, guaranteed SLAs, or fine-tuned proprietary capabilities.
Side effects
- Payment not included or insufficient USDC balance triggers a 402 Payment Required response
- Invalid or missing messages array returns a 400 validation error
- Requested model ID not available returns an error — check GET /v1/models for valid IDs
- Temperature out of range (0–2) or max_tokens below 1 causes validation failure
- Service unavailability or model overload may return 503 or timeout
