Build, train, and deploy AI agents with the DigitalOcean Gradient™ AI Agentic Cloud:
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.
DigitalOcean Gradient™ AI 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 DigitalOcean Gradient™ AI 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.
