# Function: createChutesV3Middleware()

> **createChutesV3Middleware**\<`TTags`>(`options`): `LanguageModelV3Middleware`

Defined in: [chutes/src/ai-sdk/language-model-middleware/v3/language-model-v3-chutes-billing-middleware.ts:76](https://github.com/narevai/ai-billing/blob/main/packages/chutes/src/ai-sdk/language-model-middleware/v3/language-model-v3-chutes-billing-middleware.ts#L76)

Creates a V3 billing middleware for the Chutes provider (`llm.chutes.ai` via `@ai-sdk/openai-compatible`).
Deducts cache-read tokens from prompt tokens before billing — Chutes charges only non-cached input at the
prompt rate, and cached tokens separately at the cache-read rate.

## Type Parameters

### TTags

`TTags` *extends* `JSONObject`

The shape of the tags object, extending DefaultTags.

## Parameters

### options

[`ChutesV3MiddlewareOptions`](/docs/sdk/ai-billing/reference/chutes/typedoc/interfaces/ChutesV3MiddlewareOptions)\<`TTags`>

Billing options; see [ChutesV3MiddlewareOptions](/docs/sdk/ai-billing/reference/chutes/typedoc/interfaces/ChutesV3MiddlewareOptions). A `priceResolver` is required.

## Returns

`LanguageModelV3Middleware`

A V3 billing middleware instance for Chutes.

## Example

```ts theme={null}
import { createOpenAICompatible } from '@ai-sdk/openai-compatible';
import { wrapLanguageModel } from 'ai';
import { createChutesMiddleware } from '@ai-billing/chutes';
import {
  consoleDestination,
  createObjectPriceResolver,
  type ModelPricing,
} from '@ai-billing/core';
const chutes = createOpenAICompatible({
  name: 'chutes',
  baseURL: 'https://llm.chutes.ai/v1',
  apiKey: process.env.CHUTES_API_KEY,
});

const customPricingMap: Record<string, ModelPricing> = {
  'deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3-0324': {
    promptTokens: 0.27 / 1_000_000,
    completionTokens: 1.10 / 1_000_000,
    inputCacheReadTokens: 0.07 / 1_000_000,
  },
};

const priceResolver = createObjectPriceResolver(customPricingMap);

const billingMiddleware = createChutesMiddleware({
  destinations: [consoleDestination()],
  priceResolver,
});

const wrappedModel = wrapLanguageModel({
  model: chutes('deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3-0324'),
  middleware: billingMiddleware,
});
```
