Models
The HINOW models: which one to use for each task, how much it costs and where to start.
Updated on Aug 09, 2026
The HINOW models offer three starting points for AI applications. Use HiMax when response quality is the priority, HiNova to balance capability and speed, or HiGenesis for cost- and volume-sensitive workloads.
All of them use the same Chat Completions interface. That lets you compare models by changing only the model field, without rewriting the integration. For production, evaluate the options with real inputs from your business before setting a default.
For images, HiMegia creates and edits from a text description, with the same key, at POST https://api.hinow.ai/v1/images — the guided usage is in Image generation.
If you are not sure where to start
Start with hinow/hinova for most applications. Choose hinow/himax when a gain in quality justifies a higher cost, or hinow/higenesis when the workflow is simple, repeatable and run at high volume.
