Jibun Corp's AI Hub Reaches 35 Providers: Adding SiliconFlow and Novita AI

We just crossed 35 providers in our unified AI Hub feature. Today we're adding two more OpenAI-compatible inference platforms: SiliconFlow and Novita AI.

Why SiliconFlow?

SiliconFlow (硅基流动) is China's largest AI inference platform, supporting 100+ open-source models via an OpenAI-compatible API. Two reasons we picked it:

Free tier is genuinely useful — Qwen2.5-7B is available completely free, making it perfect for development and testing
Access to China-specific models — Qwen2.5-72B and DeepSeek-V3 at competitive prices, with strong Chinese language performance

  envKey: "SILICONFLOW_API_KEY",
  chatUrl: "https://api.siliconflow.cn/v1/chat/completions",
  defaultModel: "Qwen/Qwen2.5-72B-Instruct",
  buildBody: OPENAI_COMPAT_BODY,
  parseResponse: OPENAI_COMPAT_PARSE,
},

Why Novita AI?

Novita AI is a global inference platform with 100+ models and a pure pay-as-you-go credit system. The key differentiator:

Llama-3.1-70B at $0.23/1M tokens (input and output) — extremely competitive
No subscriptions, credits never expire
Image generation (FLUX, SDXL) alongside text models in one API

novita_ai: {
  displayName: "Novita AI",
  envKey: "NOVITA_API_KEY",
  chatUrl: "https://api.novita.ai/v3/openai/chat/completions",
  defaultModel: "meta-llama/llama-3.1-70b-instruct",
  buildBody: OPENAI_COMPAT_BODY,
  parseResponse: OPENAI_COMPAT_PARSE,
},

The OpenAI-Compat Pattern

All 35 providers in our hub share the same handler pattern. Once the infrastructure exists, adding a new provider is just a config block:

const OPENAI_COMPAT_BODY = (prompt: string, model: string) => ({
  model,
  messages: [{ role: "user", content: prompt }],
  max_tokens: 512,
  temperature: 0.7,
});

const OPENAI_COMPAT_PARSE = (data: unknown) => {
  // ... standard OpenAI response parsing
};

This is the power of the OpenAI API standard becoming the industry default — every new provider that adopts it is automatically compatible with our hub.

AI University Content

Both providers got full AI University content:

Overview: Company background, strengths, use cases
Models: Pricing table, context windows, specializations
API: Quick-start code, rate limits, Jibun Corp integration guide

The AI University feature now covers 86 AI providers, letting users learn about the entire AI landscape in one place.
