LLM Dedicated Endpoint on Novita AI: Custom Models, Usage-Based Pricing, and DevOps-Free Scaling

Want to ship your own fine-tuned LLMs, without babysitting GPUs or racking up idle costs?

Novita AI’s LLM Dedicated Endpoint gives you true flexibility: run your custom models, pay only for tokens used, and let Novita handle deployment and scaling.

Compared to LLM Public APIs, it’s your stack, your way. Compared to raw GPU hosting, you get predictable pricing and a pro team to keep your models running smoothly.

What is an LLM Dedicated Endpoint?

A LLM Dedicated Endpoint is your own private API for running any model you want — fine-tuned, proprietary, or mainstream. No noisy neighbors, no shared resources. Novita AI handles all the infra, you just send requests. Learn more

Key Features

  • Bring Your Own Model: Deploy your fine-tuned or custom LLMs.

  • No Idle GPU Bills: Pay only for tokens used (usage-based, not hourly).

  • Auto-Scales Instantly: Handles spikes, no manual scaling.

  • Full Isolation: Dedicated compute, your data only.

  • Enterprise Uptime, Low Latency: SLAs for mission-critical apps.

  • Zero-DevOps: Monitoring, scaling, and patching done for you.

LLM Public Endpoints vs LLM Dedicated Endpoint

Novita AI offers two LLM API flavors—pick what fits your workflow:

1. LLM Public Endpoints

  • What:

    Plug-and-play APIs for open-source models like Llama, DeepSeek, Qwen, Gemma, and more.

  • When to use:

    Prototyping, hackathons, projects with standard LLMs.

  • Why:

  • Fast to integrate

  • No servers or infra

  • Scale to production

2. LLM Dedicated Endpoint

  • What:

    Your own API for custom/fine-tuned models, including proprietary LLMs.

  • When to use:

    When you need control, privacy, or custom models (think: internal tools, production SaaS, unique data).

  • Why:

  • Private, dedicated resources

  • Custom SLAs and scaling

  • Usage-based pricing

  • Expert deployment and monitoring

TL;DR:

Need standard models, fast? Go Public Endpoints.

Need your own model, full control, and pro support? Go LLM Dedicated Endpoint.
