What is novita.ai?

Novita.ai is an AI cloud platform that combines model inference APIs, serverless computing, and GPU instances in one service. It covers LLMs, image generation, video generation, and audio models with usage-based pricing.

Model APIs

Novita provides API access to a range of AI models. For text generation, it hosts popular open-source LLMs with an OpenAI-compatible API. Image generation covers Stable Diffusion and FLUX models with options for text-to-image, image-to-image, and inpainting. The platform also offers audio and video generation models.

GPU Instances

For teams that need dedicated compute, Novita offers GPU instances with A100 and H100 GPUs billed by the hour. Instances come pre-configured with common ML frameworks and can be accessed via SSH. This is useful for training, fine-tuning, or running custom inference pipelines.

Pricing

Novita uses usage-based pricing across all its services. Model API calls are billed per token (for LLMs) or per image/request (for generation models). GPU instances are billed hourly with no minimum commitments. The platform positions itself on price, often undercutting larger providers.

Who should use novita.ai?

Novita.ai is suited for developers and small teams looking for affordable AI API access and GPU compute without managing infrastructure. The breadth of model types (text, image, video, audio) in one platform is convenient for teams working across multiple modalities.
