Making Chinese AI models accessible to developers worldwide through fast, affordable API infrastructure in Hong Kong.
NovAI was founded in 2025 with a simple mission: bridge the gap between world-class Chinese AI models and international developers. We noticed that while DeepSeek, Qwen, and GLM were matching or exceeding Western models in benchmarks, accessing them outside China was unnecessarily complex.
Based in Hong Kong, we're uniquely positioned to provide low-latency access to these models while maintaining international standards for reliability and developer experience. Our infrastructure sits one network hop from major Chinese AI providers, delivering 3x lower latency than US-based alternatives.
Chinese AI models were becoming best-in-class for coding and reasoning, but accessing them required Chinese phone numbers, local payment methods, or dealing with 300ms+ latency from overseas.
We built a Hong Kong-based API gateway with OpenAI-compatible endpoints, dual-channel smart routing, and flexible payments (PayPal + USDT) — no Chinese phone number required.
Every millisecond matters. Our Hong Kong infrastructure delivers the lowest possible latency to Chinese AI models.
OpenAI-compatible API, transparent pricing, no hidden fees. Your code works with zero changes.
No geographic restrictions. Pay with PayPal or crypto. Access from anywhere in the world.
We're a small, focused team of engineers and product builders based in Hong Kong and working remotely across Asia.
Former infrastructure engineers from major cloud providers. Obsessed with latency, reliability, and developer experience.
