## Overview

The Nous Research proxy provides pay-per-request access to open-source AI models developed by Nous Research. No account or API key required.

| ------------------ | -------------------------------------- |
| **Proxy URL**      | `https://nousresearch.api.corbits.dev` |
| **Proxy ID**       | `6`                                    |
| **Default price**  | \$0.01 per request                     |
| **Pricing scheme** | Exact                                  |

## Quick start

Install the payment SDK and make an inference request:

```javascript theme={null}
import { payer } from "@faremeter/rides";

// Load your Solana keypair
await payer.addLocalWallet(process.env.PAYER_KEYPAIR);

const response = await payer.fetch("https://nousresearch.api.corbits.dev/v1/chat/completions", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    model: "NousResearch/Hermes-3-Llama-3.1-8B",
    messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello from Corbits!" }],
  }),
});

const data = await response.json();
console.log(data.choices[0].message.content);
```

## Key endpoints

| Endpoint               | Description                                |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------ |
| `/v1/chat/completions` | Generate chat completions with Nous models |

<Note>
  This proxy does not currently have a registered OpenAPI spec with endpoint-level details in Discovery. Use the proxy URL with an OpenAI-compatible request format. Check the [Nous Research documentation](https://nousresearch.com) for model-specific details.

Query the Discovery API to get live details about this proxy:

```bash theme={null}
# Search for this proxy
curl "https://api.corbits.dev/api/v1/search?q=nousresearch"

# Get proxy details

## Notes

* Nous Research develops open-source models including the Hermes series. The proxy provides inference access to these models.
* The API follows the OpenAI-compatible chat completions format.
* Payment is handled at the proxy layer via x402 — the `@faremeter/rides` SDK manages the challenge/response cycle automatically.
