Novita AI is a developer cloud that puts more than 200 models behind a single API, covering text, image, audio and video. Models are billed by the token instead of by the hour, with listed rates such as $0.14 per million input tokens and $0.28 per million output tokens for DeepSeek V4 Flash, and batch inference carries an introductory 50% discount on supported models. Beyond serverless endpoints, the company sells dedicated private endpoints, agent sandboxes that start in about 200 milliseconds and bill per second, GPU instances, serverless GPU jobs and bare-metal clusters.
Backend and machine learning engineers reach for it when they want hosted inference without managing servers, and startups choose it for pricing the company says runs up to 50% below major cloud providers. Teams building coding agents get isolated runtimes for executing tests and patches, while research groups and larger companies with heavy training or inference loads can rent H100 and H200 machines with NVLink and RDMA networking. Anyone comfortable calling a REST endpoint and reading token pricing can get started, since the offering targets builders rather than non-technical buyers.
A product team can switch between DeepSeek, GLM, Kimi, MiniMax, Qwen or Gemma models through one integration to compare cost and quality on the same workload. An agent developer can spin up a sandbox, let a coding agent read the repository, run pytest and apply a fix, then pay only for the seconds used. A media app can call image, audio and video models serverlessly and scale to zero when idle. Companies that need guaranteed latency can reserve a dedicated endpoint for their own model, and groups running large training jobs can move to a bare-metal cluster built from 8-GPU nodes.
