Novita AI delists Ling 3.0 Tiny, emptying its free-LLM shelf after 3 days

Novita AI pricing

Novita AI delisted Ling 3.0 Tiny, the free LLM added 3 days earlier, leaving no $0 language model on its rate card as the catalog eased from 177 to 174 listings.

Before

Ling 3.0 Tiny listed at $0/M input and output under a Time Limited Free tag, added 2026-08-11 as the free-launch slot; 177 models on the serverless catalog.

After

Ling 3.0 Tiny no longer appears on the pricing page or model catalog; no free LLM listed on the rate card; catalog count 174 models.

Novita AI’s serverless catalog lost its only free-tier language model for the second time in a month. Ling 3.0 Tiny — added on 2026-08-11 at $0/M input and output under the same “Time Limited Free” tag Novita uses to launch new small models — is gone entirely from both novita.ai/en/pricing and novita.ai/en/models as of the 2026-08-14 capture. Unlike Tencent’s Hy3, which graduated from free to a paid per-token rate on 2026-07-21, Ling 3.0 Tiny was delisted outright rather than repriced, the shortest lifespan of any free listing tracked on this rate card so far.

The overall model count eased from 177 to 174 in the same capture, with no other confirmed per-token rate changes: the previously tracked LLM, GPU-instance, dedicated-endpoint, bare-metal, and Agent Sandbox prices were all unchanged. A “Limited Time 50% Off” tag previously shown next to Qwen3.7-Max also no longer appears on the rate table, though its $1.25/M input and $3.75/M output rate held steady rather than reverting higher.

Ling 3.0 Tiny delisted after 3 days, emptying the free-LLM shelf

Ling 3.0 Tiny — the free LLM added 2026-08-11 — was removed outright from the pricing page and model catalog rather than converted to a paid rate, the shortest-lived free listing tracked on this rate card. The catalog eased from 177 to 174 models; Qwen3.7-Max's 'Limited Time 50% Off' tag also disappeared from the rate table though its $1.25/$3.75 rate held steady. All other tracked per-token, GPU, dedicated-endpoint, bare-metal, and Agent Sandbox rates were unchanged.

About Novita AI
novita.ai ↗

Novita AI is a pay-as-you-go AI cloud offering inference across 174 listed models as of the 2026-08-14 capture (down from 177 at 2026-08-04/2026-08-11, after that 2026-08-04 refresh added Deepseek V3.2, Deepseek V4 Flash, DeepSeek-OCR 2, and PaddleOCR-VL, following a 2026-07-29 delisting of legacy video/image SKUs including Hunyuan Video Fast, PixVerse V4.5, and the Kling-o1 lineup), on-demand and bare-metal GPUs, and secure per-second agent sandboxes under a single API; a 2026-08-25 capture cut the Image catalog from 14 to 5 SKUs and pruned most legacy Video lines while the site's own model-catalog counter read 144, a divergence from the 174 figure this page has tracked that remains unreconciled.
