Novita AI hosts a wide range of open-source image, video, and language models behind simple APIs, competing on price and model breadth for developers who want to use popular open models without managing GPU infrastructure themselves.

Its catalog spans Stable Diffusion and FLUX variants for images, several open video-generation models, and open LLMs, each accessible through consistent API endpoints with per-second or per-token billing. Training and fine-tuning support lets developers customize models on their own data, and its pricing generally undercuts larger cloud providers for equivalent open-model inference, targeting cost-sensitive startups and indie developers building on open-source AI rather than proprietary APIs.
