cli-anything-novita

A CLI harness for **Novita AI** - an OpenAI-compatible API service for AI models like DeepSeek, GLM, and others.

Installation

This CLI is installed as part of the cli-anything-novita package:

pip install cli-anything-novita

**Prerequisites:**

• Python 3.10+
• Novita API key from [novita.ai](https://novita.ai)

cli-anything-novita

# Chat with model
cli-anything-novita chat --prompt "What is AI?" --model deepseek/deepseek-v3.2

# Streaming chat
cli-anything-novita stream --prompt "Write a poem about code"

# List available models
cli-anything-novita models

# JSON output (for agent consumption)
cli-anything-novita --json chat --prompt "Hello"

For AI Agents

When using this CLI programmatically:

1. **Always use `--json` flag** for parseable output 2. **Check return codes** - 0 for success, non-zero for errors 3. **Parse stderr** for error messages on failure 4. **Use absolute paths** for all file operations 5. **Verify outputs exist** after export operations
