DigitalOcean Gradient™ AI Platform lets you build fully-managed AI agents with knowledge bases for retrieval-augmented generation, multi-agent routing, guardrails, and more, or use serverless inference to make direct requests to popular foundation models.
The following foundation and embedding models are available for Gradient AI Platform. For pricing, see Gradient AI Platform’s pricing page.
Foundation Models
Gradient AI Platform supports both open source and commercial foundation models. You can use these models for:
Open source models are generally published by research labs, available under open licenses. Commercial models are proprietary such as OpenAI and Anthropic models. All models are offered using DigitalOcean API access keys, but you can also bring your own provider’s API keys to access the commercial models.
We regularly update our model offerings to provide the most performant and efficient models, and deprecate older models. For information on our model deprecation policy and recommended model replacements, see Model Support Policy.
We offer the following foundation models, subject to the AI Model Terms, our Service Terms, and the Terms of Service Agreement:
Embedding Models
An embedding model converts data into vector embeddings. Gradient AI Platform stores vector embeddings in an OpenSearch database cluster for use with agent knowledge bases. The following embedding models are available on the platform, along with their token windows and recommended chunking ranges.
