Novita AI Sandbox (new-user credits)
Novita AI
New users get a Sandbox trial credit on signup (third-party sources put it at roughly $100; official documentation only confirms a 'voucher is granted' without disclosing the exact amount), plus 5 models — Llama 3.2 1B, Qwen2.5-7B, GLM-4-9B, GLM-Z1-9B, and BGE-M3 embedding — permanently priced at $0/M tokens
The official quickstart documentation (novita.ai/docs/guides/quickstart) states only that it will 'offer new users a voucher with some credit to try our products,' without disclosing the exact amount, validity period, or credit-card requirement. Third-party aggregator sites commonly report roughly $100 with a 90-day validity, but none provide first-hand official screenshots as evidence — this entry doesn't treat that figure as confirmed. The $0/M-tokens pricing for the 5 permanently free models can be directly verified on the official model page — this is confirmed information. There's also a separate $10 referral credit and a 50% discount on batch inference. This entry is distinct from the existing 'novita-ling-3-flash-fin-free' entry in this list (the limited-time free Ling-3.0-Flash-Fin finance model): that entry is a limited-time pricing promotion for a single model, while this one covers the general new-user signup credit plus 5 permanently free small models — the two can be combined.
The exact new-user signup credit amount isn't officially confirmed — check your account panel after logging in for what's actually credited, and don't plan usage around the third-party figure. The 5 permanently $0-priced small models (especially Qwen2.5-7B and GLM-4-9B) are the only fully confirmed free value in this entry, and can serve as a reliable long-term fallback.
