Context Cost
This is the approximate number of tokens consumed each time the server's tools are loaded into a model's context. Higher counts reduce the attention available for other tasks.

🟡compute.chat(messages, model, max_tokens, temperature, max_cost_usdc, ...)
Run inference via Hive's OpenAI-compatible router. Submit a prompt or message array to any available model. Billed per input+output token in USDC on Base L2. Hive routes to the cheapest available model meeting your latency and quality spec.

}⚪compute.embed(input, model, dimensions, did, api_key)
Generate vector embeddings via Hive's embedding router. Billed per 1K input tokens in USDC on Base L2. Returns a float array suitable for semantic search, clustering, or RAG pipelines.
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"input": {
"type": "string",
"description": "Text to embed. Pass a string for a single embedding or use the batch endpoint for multiple inputs."

}🟢compute.list_models(family, max_price_per_1m)
Browse all models available through the Hive inference router — including per-token pricing in USDC, context window size, latency tier, and provider. No authentication required.
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"family": {
"type": "string",
"description": "Filter by model family. One of: gpt-4, claude-3, llama-3, mistral, gemini, embed."

"type": "number",
"description": "Filter to models priced below this amount per 1M tokens in USDC."
}
}
}🟢compute.estimate_cost(prompt, model, max_output_tokens)
Estimate the USDC cost for a prompt before running inference. Returns cost breakdown by input tokens, output tokens, and routing fee. Helps agents budget before committing a payment.
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"prompt": {
"type": "string",
"description": "The prompt text to estimate cost for. Tokenized to determine input token count."

}
},
"required": [
