🚀 About Noveum.ai & API.market

Noveum.ai (formerly MagicAPI) is a profitable, fast-growing startup building infrastructure for the next wave of AI applications.

Our two flagship products:

1. API.market – a global marketplace for AI models & APIs.
2. Noveum.ai – an automated model-evaluation platform that lets teams benchmark cost, latency, and accuracy before going to production.

We run lean (single-digit headcount) and ship features at the pace most teams can only pitch.

🖥️ Tech Stack
