Open-Weight Catalogue
Qwen, DeepSeek, GLM, Kimi, MiniMax, Llama, Gemma and Nemotron families served serverlessly with per-token billing
Prompt Caching
Cache-read pricing published separately from standard input pricing on most chat models
Serverless and Dedicated GPUs
Per-second serverless GPU jobs, on-demand instances, and bare-metal clusters with H100 and H200 hardware
Private Endpoints
Dedicated deployments for workloads that need reserved capacity rather than shared serverless throughput
Agent Sandbox
Isolated runtimes for agent workloads that call models and execute tools, billed per second

OpenRelay

Global GPU Capacity
A worldwide network of GPUs accessible through a single platform.
Automatic Failover
Traffic is rerouted to healthy nodes to ensure service continuity.
Instant Load Balancing
Requests are distributed evenly across available resources.
API Integration
Compatible with existing OpenAI SDKs and other client implementations.

Pros & Cons

Novita AI

Advantages

Broad open-weight model coverage under one API, so several model families can be compared without changing providers
Catalogue endpoint publishes per-model pricing openly, with no account required
Prompt caching rates published alongside standard input rates
Both token-billed inference and GPU rental available from one account

Considerations

Model catalogue turns over quickly, and retired models stay listed with a status flag rather than being removed
A few models use tiered billing where the rate depends on prompt length
Headquarters and data-centre regions are not published on the marketing site

OpenRelay

Advantages

Global infrastructure for increased availability
Support for multiple AI models
Comprehensive documentation and API resources
Flexible resource management

Considerations

Limited information on company ownership
Headquarters location not specified
No details on legal entity registration
