BlockRun
BlockRun works with Claude Code and Google Antigravity.
You can't generate images. You have no real-time X/Twitter access. BlockRun gives you these capabilities.
Philosophy
You have a wallet. When you need a capability you lack, you pay for it autonomously.
| You Need | You Call | Pricing |
|---|---|---|
| Image generation | DALL-E | $0.04/image |
| Real-time X data | Grok + Live Search | $0.025/source |
| Second opinion | GPT-5.2 | $1.75/M input, $14/M output |
| Cheaper processing | DeepSeek | $0.14/M input, $0.28/M output |
How it works: BlockRun uses x402 micropayments to route your requests to OpenAI, xAI, Google, and other providers. No API keys needed - your wallet pays per token.
Budget Control (Optional)
If the user specifies a budget (e.g., "use at most $1"), track spending and stop when budget is reached:
from blockrun_llm import setup_agent_wallet
client = setup_agent_wallet()
budget = 1.0 # User's budget
# Before each call, check if within budget
spending = client.get_spending()
if spending['total_usd'] >= budget:
print(f"Budget reached: ${spending['total_usd']:.4f} spent")
# Stop making calls
else:
response = client.chat("openai/gpt-5.2", "Hello!")
# At the end, report spending
spending = client.get_spending()
print(f"💰 Total spent: ${spending['total_usd']:.4f} across {spending['calls']} calls")
When to Use
| Trigger | Your Action |
|---|---|
| User explicitly requests ("blockrun second opinion with GPT on...", "use grok to check...", "generate image with dall-e") | Execute via BlockRun |
| User needs something you can't do (images, live X data) | Suggest BlockRun, wait for confirmation |
| You can handle the task fine | Do it yourself, don't mention BlockRun |
Example User Prompts
Users will say things like:
| User Says | What You Do |
|---|---|
| "blockrun generate an image of a sunset" | Call DALL-E via ImageClient |
| "use grok to check what's trending on X" | Call Grok with search=True |
| "blockrun GPT review this code" | Call GPT-5.2 via LLMClient |
| "what's the latest news about AI agents?" | Suggest Grok (you lack real-time data) |
| "generate a logo for my startup" | Suggest DALL-E (you can't generate images) |
| "blockrun check my balance" | Show wallet balance via get_balance() |
| "blockrun deepseek summarize this file" | Call DeepSeek for cost savings |
Wallet & Balance
Use setup_agent_wallet() to auto-create a wallet and get a client. This shows the QR code and welcome message on first use.
Initialize client (always start with this):
from blockrun_llm import setup_agent_wallet
client = setup_agent_wallet() # Auto-creates wallet, shows QR if new
Check balance (when user asks "show balance", "check wallet", etc.):
balance = client.get_balance() # On-chain USDC balance
print(f"Balance: ${balance:.2f} USDC")
print(f"Wallet: {client.get_wallet_address()}")
Show QR code for funding:
from blockrun_llm import generate_wallet_qr_ascii, get_wallet_address
# ASCII QR for terminal display
print(generate_wallet_qr_ascii(get_wallet_address()))
SDK Usage
Prerequisite: Install the SDK with pip install blockrun-llm
Basic Chat
from blockrun_llm import setup_agent_wallet
client = setup_agent_wallet() # Auto-creates wallet if needed
response = client.chat("openai/gpt-5.2", "What is 2+2?")
print(response)
# Check spending
spending = client.get_spending()
print(f"Spent ${spending['total_usd']:.4f}")
Real-time X/Twitter Search (xAI Live Search)
IMPORTANT: For real-time X/Twitter data, you MUST enable Live Search with search=True or search_parameters.
from blockrun_llm import setup_agent_wallet
client = setup_agent_wallet()
# Simple: Enable live search with search=True
response = client.chat(
"xai/grok-3",
"What are the latest posts from @blockrunai on X?",
search=True # Enables real-time X/Twitter search
)
print(response)
Advanced X Search with Filters
from blockrun_llm import setup_agent_wallet
client = setup_agent_wallet()
response = client.chat(
"xai/grok-3",
"Analyze @blockrunai's recent content and engagement",
search_parameters={
"mode": "on",
"sources": [
{
"type": "x",
"included_x_handles": ["blockrunai"],
"post_favorite_count": 5
}
],
"max_search_results": 20,
"return_citations": True
}
)
print(response)
Image Generation
from blockrun_llm import ImageClient
client = ImageClient()
result = client.generate("A cute cat wearing a space helmet")
print(result.data[0].url)
xAI Live Search Reference
Live Search is xAI's real-time data API. Cost: $0.025 per source (default 10 sources = ~$0.26).
To reduce costs, set max_search_results to a lower value:
# Only use 5 sources (~$0.13)
response = client.chat("xai/grok-3", "What's trending?",
search_parameters={"mode": "on", "max_search_results": 5})

Cost Reference
All LLM costs are per million tokens (M = 1,000,000 tokens).
| Model | Input | Output |
|---|---|---|
| GPT-5.2 | $1.75/M | $14.00/M |
| GPT-5-mini | $0.30/M | $1.20/M |
| Grok-3 (no search) | $3.00/M | $15.00/M |
| DeepSeek | $0.14/M | $0.28/M |
| Fixed Cost Actions | |
|---|---|
| Grok Live Search | $0.025/source (default 10 = $0.25) |
| DALL-E image | $0.04/image |
| Nano Banana image | $0.01/image |
Typical costs: A 500-word prompt (~750 tokens) to GPT-5.2 costs ~$0.001 input. A 1000-word response (~1500 tokens) costs ~$0.02 output.
Setup & Funding
Wallet location: $HOME/.blockrun/.session (e.g., /Users/username/.blockrun/.session)
First-time setup:
- Wallet auto-creates when
setup_agent_wallet()is called - Check wallet and balance:
from blockrun_llm import setup_agent_wallet
client = setup_agent_wallet()
print(f"Wallet: {client.get_wallet_address()}")
print(f"Balance: ${client.get_balance():.2f} USDC")
- Fund wallet with $1-5 USDC on Base network
Show QR code for funding (ASCII for terminal):
from blockrun_llm import generate_wallet_qr_ascii, get_wallet_address
print(generate_wallet_qr_ascii(get_wallet_address()))
Troubleshooting
"Grok says it has no real-time access"
→ You forgot to enable Live Search. Add search=True:
response = client.chat("xai/grok-3", "What's trending?", search=True)
Module not found
→ Install the SDK: pip install blockrun-llm
Updates
pip install --upgrade blockrun-llm
