PZERO marketplace offers discounted AI model capacity via OpenAI-compatible API

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

PZERO, an AI marketplace, allows users to purchase discounted AI model capacity using USDC on the Base network. The platform functions by routing user requests to the cheapest available eligible offer, with prices often significantly below list. Users can fund their accounts and then use a PZERO-issued API key, which is compatible with OpenAI's SDK, to access various models including those from OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, and DeepSeek. The marketplace is still in its early stages with limited traction, and users must ensure their balance is confirmed before making requests. AI
