Price and feasibility for ONE specific Animica compute job before you pay for it
Price and feasibility for ONE specific Animica compute job before you pay for it. Send {kind, prompt, quantity} and get the exact cost in atomic units, whether a GPU miner or AICF worker is online for that exact kind right now (with probe age and chain head), the endpoint and body to POST, and a pre-check of your payload. Refuses with 503 and charges nothing when nothing can serve the work. Buy this when a failed render would cost you more than the quote.
