Build, train, and deploy AI agents with the DigitalOcean AI-Native Cloud:
DigitalOcean Evaluations measure model, Inference Router, and agent performance using dataset evaluations and simulations.
DigitalOcean’s cloud platform for running and scaling AI agents, and governing the actions they take.
GPU Droplets are VMs with GPUs in a single or 8 GPU configuration. We provide an AI/ML-ready image and 1-Click Models so you can get started without manual setup.
Bare Metal GPUs are dedicated, single-tenant servers with eight GPUs per machine. They can run as standalone servers or as part of multi-node clusters.
1-Click Models let you deploy third-party generative AI models on GPU Droplets with no additional setup or configuration.
Paperspace is a cloud-based machine learning platform that offers GPU-powered virtual machines and a Kubernetes-based container service.
Bare metal GPUs and GPU Droplets both provide GPU-based compute resources tailored to AI/ML workloads, but they’re each suited for different use cases. Learn more about the difference between bare metal GPUs and GPU Droplets.
