# Recommended Models

A list of recommended open models for common use cases.

## Which open models should I use?

Actually, there’s no single right answer! Here’s a curated list based on Novita internal testing, community feedback, and external benchmarks. We recommend using it as a starting point, and we will update it regularly as new models emerge.

<Note>
  * Model sizes are marked as Small, Medium, or Large. For MoE models, the activated parameter size is what matters for latency.
  * For best latency, use small or medium models. For best quality, use large models or fine-tune medium or small models.
  * Model names below are exact model IDs — copy them directly into your API calls. Each links to its model page for live pricing and a playground.
  * You can explore all models in the [Novita Model Library](https://novita.ai/models/llm).
