GenAI Platform Pricing Public Preview
DigitalOcean GenAI Platform lets you build GPU-powered AI agents with fully-managed deployment. Agents can use pre-built or custom foundation models, incorporate function and agent routes, and implement RAG pipelines with knowledge bases.
The GenAI Platform follows a usage-based pricing model, charging based on the models you select, their frequency of use, and additional features like knowledge bases (KBs) and guardrails. This pricing model ensures that costs adjust according to your usage, helping you manage spending as your needs evolve.
Note
An agent’s token usage depends on several factors, including the length of the user’s input, complexity of agent instructions, knowledge base data, and other configurations. To optimize your token usage, test your agents and adjust their settings accordingly.
Open Source Models
We charge you for all input and output tokens to the model when using an agent. We offer the Model Playground for free, but limit the amount of tokens (input and output combined) you can use for each model per day per team.
Here are the token rates for each model:
| Model | Price |
|---|---|
| DeepSeek-R1-distill-llama-70B | $0.99 per 1,000,000 input tokens $0.99 per 1,000,000 output tokens |
| Llama 3.1 8B | $0.198 per 1,000,000 input tokens $0.198 per 1,000,000 output tokens |
| Llama 3.1 70B | $0.70 per 1,000,000 input tokens $0.70 per 1,000,000 output tokens |
| Llama 3.3 70B | $0.65 per 1,000,000 input tokens $0.65 per 1,000,000 output tokens |
| Mistral NeMo | $0.30 per 1,000,000 input tokens $0.30 per 1,000,000 output tokens |
Model costs are per token, not for creation.
Commercial Models
Pricing for input and output tokens for commercial models follows the provider’s standard rates. Your model provider bills your account with them directly since you use your own API tokens.
Standard rates for commercial models include:
Knowledge Bases
Creating a KB involves two actions:
- Transforming the provided data into vector embeddings (indexing). You are charged based on the number of tokens indexed into the KB.
- The storage of these vector embeddings is dictated by OpenSearch pricing.
Here are the indexing token rates for embedding models by size:
| Model | Price |
|---|---|
all-mini-lm-l6-v2 |
$0.009 per 1,000,000 input tokens |
multi-qa-mpnet-base-dot-v1 |
$0.009 per 1,000,000 input tokens |
gte-large-en-v1.5 |
$0.09 per 1,000,000 input tokens |
Guardrails
We charge for all input and output tokens to the model based on the guardrail:
| Guardrail | Price |
|---|---|
| Content Moderation | $3.00 per 1,000,000 tokens |
| Jailbreak Detection | $3.00 per 1,000,000 tokens |
| Sensitive Data Detection | $0.34 per 1,000,000 tokens |
Guardrail costs are per token, not for creation. Editing or duplicating these guardrails does not change their price.
Functions
When you add DigitalOcean Functions to your agent, you are charged based on Functions pricing.
