novita-cli

The command-line interface for Novita AI. Generate text, images, video, audio, and launch GPU/serverless sandbox runtimes from any terminal or AI agent.

Novita AI · Console · API Docs

novita-cli wraps major Novita AI APIs in a single novita command. It is built for developers and AI agents that need fast access to model APIs, file workflows, GPU instances, templates, network storage, serverless endpoints, and sandbox-style container runtime environments.

Features

• Text - Chat completions, text completions, embeddings, reranking, model lookup, streaming, and JSON output.
• Image - Text-to-image, FLUX generation, image-to-image, inpainting, upscaling, background tools, prompt extraction, and face merge.
• Video - Text-to-video, image-to-video, Hunyuan video, async task polling, and result downloads.
• Audio - Text-to-speech, GLM TTS, speech-to-text, and voice cloning.
• Files and batch - Upload JSONL files, create batch jobs, inspect task state, and download outputs.
• GPU sandbox runtimes - Discover products, launch containerized GPU/CPU instances, manage ports, templates, metrics, storage, and clusters.
• Serverless endpoints - Create, update, inspect, and delete runtime endpoints for containerized inference workloads.
• Account tools - Check balance, billing, usage-based billing, and fixed-term billing.

Install

pip install novita

For AI agents:

npx skills add novitalabs/novita-cli

API Key

Create an API key in the Novita Console:

export NOVITA_API_KEY="sk_..."

You can also pass a key per command:

novita --api-key sk_... chat "Hello"

Quick Start

novita chat "What is Novita AI?" -m deepseek/deepseek-v3-0324
novita image flux "a cinematic robot painter" -W 1024 -H 576
novita audio tts "Hello from Novita" --voice Calm_Woman -o hello.mp3

GPU Sandbox Runtimes

Use GPU instances when you need a containerized runtime for experiments, model workloads, agent tools, or sandbox-style compute.

# Discover available products and clusters
novita gpu products --gpu-num 1
novita gpu cpu-products
novita gpu clusters

# Launch a containerized GPU sandbox/runtime
novita gpu create \
--product-id 4090.16c125g \
--image pytorch/pytorch:latest \
--gpu-num 1 \
--ports 8888/http

# Manage the runtime
novita gpu list --status running
novita gpu get
novita gpu metrics
novita gpu stop
novita gpu delete

Templates And Storage

# Browse and inspect runtime templates
novita template list --channel official
novita template get

# Create a reusable template
novita template create --name my-runtime --image pytorch/pytorch:latest

# Manage network storage
novita storage list
novita storage create --cluster-id --name data-volume --size 100
novita storage delete

Serverless Endpoints

# List endpoints
novita serverless list

# Deploy a containerized endpoint
novita serverless create \
--name my-endpoint \
--image myimage:latest \
--port 8080 \
--product-id

# Scale or update an endpoint
novita serverless update --max-workers 3
novita serverless get
novita serverless delete

Account And Billing

novita account balance
novita account billing
novita account usage-billing
novita account fixed-billing

JSON Output

Add --json-output for machine-readable output:

novita --json-output chat "Hello" --no-stream
