Beam vs Novita AI

Only charged when your code runs, no charges for cold starts or server spin-up

Memory snapshots and GPU checkpoint restore bring containers back in seconds, which Beam reports as up to 35x faster than a traditional cold boot

Run untrusted code safely in isolated environments for AI agents and code interpreters

Pause and resume sessions while maintaining filesystem, memory, and running processes

Scale to zero when idle, burst to thousands of containers in seconds

Bring your own Docker images for full environment control, including running the Docker daemon inside containers

One endpoint for 200+ text, image, audio and video models, callable with existing OpenAI client libraries

Qwen, DeepSeek, GLM, Kimi, MiniMax, Llama, Gemma and Nemotron families served serverlessly with per-token billing

Cache-read pricing published separately from standard input pricing on most chat models

Per-second serverless GPU jobs, on-demand instances, and bare-metal clusters with H100 and H200 hardware

Dedicated deployments for workloads that need reserved capacity rather than shared serverless throughput

Isolated runtimes for agent workloads that call models and execute tools, billed per second
