OpenCode is an AI coding tool that supports custom providers. You can configure OpenCode with Novita’s OpenAI-compatible LLM API endpoint and use Novita models for coding, debugging, refactoring, and project Q&A.

​
Prerequisites

Before you begin, prepare the following values:
  • API key: Create or copy an API key from Key Management.
  • Base URL: https://api.novita.ai/openai/v1
  • Model ID: Copy the model ID you want to use from the Model Hub, such as deepseek/deepseek-v4.1-flash.

Configure a custom provider

Open the OpenCode settings page and find the provider settings. Depending on your OpenCode version, this is usually under Settings → Providers → Custom Provider. Fill in the following values:
Make sure the Model ID exactly matches the value in Novita’s Model Hub. Context length, pricing, and capabilities depend on the selected model.

​
Verify the model

After saving the provider, select your Novita model in OpenCode and send a test prompt:
If the model responds, the integration is working. If verification fails, check that:
  • Your API key is correct and your account has available balance.
  • The Base URL is https://api.novita.ai/openai/v1.
  • The Model ID is correct.
  • Your network can reach the Novita API endpoint.
