HiveCompute Inference Router API is one of 5 APIs that [Hive Civilization](https://apis.io/providers/thehiveryiq-com/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include Inference, LLM Routing, x402, and Embeddings. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, API documentation, and authentication docs.

OpenAI-compatible inference router on api.thehiveryiq.com: chat completions, text completions and embeddings across 447 models drawn live from the OpenRouter registry, with automatic context compression and cheapest-adequate-model routing, priced per token in USDC and settled through x402 (a live 402 challenge with www-authenticate: x402 and a PAYMENT-REQUIRED header was observed). Free endpoints: model list and cost estimate. The served OpenAPI is a 5-path 3.0.3 stub without operationIds; the host signs every response with Ed25519 provenance headers and publishes a JWKS, but also answers HTTP 200 JSON for every unknown path.
