Chat completions - metered (pay what the call costs)

OpenAI-compatible chat completions billed per request from what the call costs: the 402 quotes exact-BPE input plus your max_tokens at the model's list price, times 1.15, from $0.001 up to a $2 per-call cap. Any model from the flat tiers (GET /v1/models). Pay the quote over x402 exact, or authorize it as a ceiling over upto and settle actual usage. Set max_tokens to what you need: it is what you pay for.
