为什么值得关注
Cloudflare has introduced Machine Payments in beta for AI Gateway, allowing inference requests to be paid directly from a stablecoin wallet using the x402 protocol instead of drawing from prepaid credit balances. This feature is currently limited to the '/ai/run' endpoint across select open models (such as z-ai/glm-4.7-flash). To utilize x402, clients send requests with a Cloudflare API token and a 'Payment-Method: x402' header. An x402-compatible client then handles the resulting payment challenge by signing an authorization from the wallet and retrying the request. Access is currently restricted to US-based customers who also have a credit card on file.
