The home page states 99.5% uptime with no supporting document\n\n### Beam 1.0 (D)\n\nGood for: An OpenAI-compatible endpoint for a large open-weight coding and agent model, for builders who want the same model hosted or self-hosted under Apache-2.0.\n\nAhead on:\n- Reliability, 40 against 28\n- Schema \u0026 documentation, 84 against 62\n- Transparency \u0026 trust, 68 against 56\n\nWatch for: The API is a public beta with no SLA, and per-organisation rate limits and the daily allocation are not published as numbers\n\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | Novita AI | Beam 1.0 | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 28 | 40 | Beam 1.0 +12 |\n| Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 62 | 84 | Beam 1.0 +22 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 72 | 67 | Novita AI +5 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 65 | 46 | Novita AI +19 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 35 | 20 | Novita AI +15 |\n| Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 62 | 50 | Novita AI +12 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 56 | 68 | Beam 1.0 +12 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | 0 | |\n| **Total** | | **53.5 · D** | **53.4 · D** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | Novita AI | Beam 1.0 |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | Model API | Model API |\n| Vendor | Novita AI | Reflection |\n| Hosted endpoint | `https://api.novita.ai/openai` | `https://api.reflection.ai/openai/v1` |\n| Transports | HTTP | HTTP |\n| Auth | API key | API key |\n| Pricing | Pay per use | Free |\n| x402 | no | no |\n| Licence | Proprietary service under the Novita AI Terms of Service.

No status page, SLA or security.txt was found, the per-model rate limit figures are drawn by script, and both vendor SDK repositories are archived while the docs still point to them.\n\n**Beam 1.0.** The Reflection API is OpenAI-compatible, with an OpenAPI document, strict structured outputs and tool calls, and error codes that say when to retry, and the weights are Apache-2.0. It is a free public beta with unpublished daily limits and no per-token price, reasoning can't be turned off, and three API incidents were posted between 14 and 16 October 2026.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Novita AI\n\n1. Set the OpenAI client base URL to `https://api.novita.ai/openai` and send the key as `Authorization: Bearer`. Keys start with `sk_`\n2. Do not close a connection to stop generation. A request that reached the model is billed in full under status 499, so cap output with `max_tokens`\n3. On 429, check whether the code is `RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED` or `TOKEN_LIMIT_EXCEEDED` and back off exponentially. No `Retry-After` header is documented\n4. Read the changelog for retirement notices before pinning a model id. One retirement in October 2026 came with 11 days' notice\n5. Ask the account owner for a key with an expiry, a model access policy and an IP allowlist. Keys are created and deleted only in the console\n\n### Beam 1.0\n\n1. Send `reasoning_effort` `low` or `medium` for short tasks. The default is `max`, and `none` or `minimal` return `400 unsupported_value`\n2. Return every assistant message with its `reasoning_content` unchanged. If a turn comes back without it, start a new conversation, since later requests fail with `missing_required_parameter`\n3. Don't rely on `stop` or `seed`. Both are accepted and ignored, so truncate output in your own code\n4. Honour `x-should-retry: false` on a 429. It means a daily limit is spent and `Retry-After` counts to 00:00 UTC\n5. Set `max_completion_tokens` yourself on long prompts. The default budget isn't reduced to fit the prompt and includes reasoning tokens\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Novita AI or Beam 1.0?\n\nNovita AI and Beam 1.0 score within a point of each other on agent readiness, 53.5 (D) and 53.4 (D). Beam 1.0 leads on reliability, schema \u0026 documentation and transparency \u0026 trust.\n\n### Do Novita AI and Beam 1.0 need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Novita AI and Beam 1.0 without installing anything?\n\nYes. Novita AI has a hosted endpoint at https://api.novita.ai/openai and Beam 1.0 at https://api.reflection.ai/openai/v1.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/novita-ai-vs-reflection-beam.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/novita-ai-vs-reflection-beam.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"novita-ai\", \"b\": \"reflection-beam\"}`.
