Today we're launching Nova — a single API that gives you access to 100+ AI models across text, image, and video with one key and one bill.
When we started building AI applications in 2024, we quickly ran into a problem that almost every developer faces: the model you want isn't where you expect it to be. Getting access to DeepSeek required one SDK. Stable Diffusion needed another. Video generation meant a third API, a fourth billing account, and yet another set of credentials to rotate.
The overhead wasn't just annoying — it was slowing us down. So we built Nova.
One API. Every model.
Nova exposes a single, OpenAI-compatible endpoint for 100+ models across text, image, and video. You authenticate once, get one API key, and pay one bill. Switching from GPT-4 to DeepSeek R1 is literally two characters of code.
We launched with 50 models. Within three months we had 300. We add new models within days of release — often before other aggregators even know they exist.
Priced fairly
We charge a small, transparent margin on top of provider cost. No hidden fees. No markup on egress. No per-seat pricing. Every price is published on our pricing page, and our methodology is documented.
For context: DeepSeek R1 on Nova costs $0.55 per million input tokens. OpenAI o1 costs $15. That's a 96% reduction in cost for a model that matches or beats o1 on most reasoning benchmarks.
Starting today
Nova is live at nova.ai. Every new account gets $1 in free credits — no credit card required. The API is OpenAI-compatible, so if you're already shipping with OpenAI, you can migrate in under five minutes.
We're just getting started. Follow along — there's a lot more coming.
