Opper AI partners with Novita to bring 80+ open-weight models to the gateway

By Felix Wunderlich -

Stockholm, Sweden, July 2026. Opper AI and Novita are partnering to bring Novita's open-weight inference to the Opper AI gateway. Builders can now reach more than 80 Novita-hosted models through the Opper API, from DeepSeek V4 and Kimi K2.6 to GLM-5, MiniMax M3, Llama 4, and Qwen, making Novita one of the broadest single-provider catalogues on the gateway.

Why this matters

One of the broadest open-weight catalogues anywhere. Novita serves models from close to twenty different makers through Opper: DeepSeek V4 Pro and Flash with 1M-token context windows, Moonshot's Kimi family up to K2.6 and the code-tuned K2.7, Z.ai's GLM-5, MiniMax M3 with a 1M-token window, Meta's Llama 3 and Llama 4, the Qwen lineup, Google's Gemma 4, OpenAI's GPT-OSS, Baidu's ERNIE 4.5, NVIDIA Nemotron, and a long tail of specialist checkpoints down to dedicated OCR models. When your agent needs one specific open-weight checkpoint, this is the route where it's most likely already live.

New releases, production-ready fast. Open-weight releases move quickly, and Novita has made a name for being among the first providers to serve them with stable, production-grade inference. The current frontier of open models, Kimi K2.6, GLM-5, DeepSeek V4, and MiniMax M3, is already callable through Opper today, at price points that are consistently among the most competitive on the gateway. Per Novita's published figures, its model APIs run at around 200ms latency with 99.5% uptime, up to 50% cheaper than the large cloud providers.

Clear data handling, US-hosted. Novita is hosted in the United States and does not train on customer data. The platform is SOC 2 Type II audited and a GDPR DPA is offered under standard contractual clauses; operationally, Novita keeps abuse-monitoring logs. For teams that want the breadth of the catalogue with a well-understood, audited posture behind it, that's a clean foundation to build on.

More than a router: the AI control plane. Routing to Novita is just the entry point. Every call through Opper runs on its AI control plane: intelligent routing across models, full observability into every call, token, and session, real-time PII masking and content filtering, budget caps, and audit trails. Pin Novita for a task or set it as a fallback for rate limits and outages, and because Novita is OpenAI-compatible, getting there is a model string, not a migration.

"We're glad to welcome Novita to Opper. They bring one of the broadest open-weight catalogues anywhere, from DeepSeek and Kimi to GLM, MiniMax, and Llama, and they're consistently among the first to get new releases production-ready. That gives our developers a deep bench of models they can reach the moment they need them."

— Göran Sandahl, Co-founder and CEO, Opper AI

"Developers come to Novita because new open models show up fast and just work in production. Opper puts that catalogue in front of a large community of builders through one API, with routing, observability, and governance handled, so teams can adopt new models the day they land."

— Junyu Huang, COO, Novita

Models live today

Get started

Paste this into your coding agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and more) and it will set up Opper and route to Novita for you:

Use curl to download, read and follow: https://skills.opper.click
Then set up Opper to use Novita as the provider, e.g. novita/deepseek-v4-flash.

Prefer a direct call? Opper is drop-in compatible with the OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google SDKs, so one API key and the model string are all you need:

import OpenAI from "openai";
const client = new OpenAI({
apiKey: process.env.OPPER_API_KEY,
baseURL: "https://api.opper.click/v3/compat",
});
const completion = await client.chat.completions.create({
model: "novita/deepseek-v4-flash",
messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello" }],
});
console.log(completion.choices[0].message.content);
