# Novita AI

It’s easy to set up TypingMind to use the models available on Novita AI ([https://novita.ai/](https://novita.ai/)). Here’s a quick guide.

## Step 1: Log in / Sign up for a Novita AI account

You can sign up from [https://novita.ai/user/login](https://novita.ai/user/login) to create a new Novita AI account or log in if you already had an account.

## Step 2: Get Novita API key

Go to [https://novita.ai/settings/key-management](https://novita.ai/settings/key-management) to create an API key for Novita:

## Step 3: Set up Novita Models on TypingMind

You have two options to set up Novita Models on TypingMind:

### 1. Use available Novita models

* Go to [typingmind.com](https://www.typingmind.com/)
* Go to Models → Switch to API keys tab and enter the API key for Novita

![Novita Api Key](https://mintcdn.com/typingmind/gQqU31NEQ6016FLy/images/novita_api_key.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=gQqU31NEQ6016FLy\&q=85\&s=72a6cc1fab9fe395ed0873f5d738d14c)

After that, switch back to Models tab → Select Novita and enable the models you want to chat with.

### 2. Use Novita models as custom models

This is usually helpful when a new model is released and the app has not been updated yet.

* Go to Models → Click Add Custom Models
* Enter any model name.
* Enter the exact endpoint from the [API document](https://docs.novita.ai/guides/llm-api): [`https://api.novita.ai/v3/openai/chat/completions`](https://api.novita.ai/v3/openai/chat/completions)
* Enter the Model ID and context length: for example, `deepseek/deepseek-r1-0528`, `meta-llama/llama-4-scout-17b-16e-instruct` . You can view all available models here: [https://novita.ai/models-console](https://novita.ai/models-console)
* Add a custom header row, then enter `Authorization` and the copied API key in the value textbox in the format: `Bearer your_api_key`
* Click “**Test**” to verify the information is correct
* Click **Add Model**.

## Step 4: Use Novita AI Models in TypingMind

You can now select the newly created custom model and chat with it.
