DigitalOcean Gradient™ AI Inference Hub Pricing
Validated on 26 Jun 2018 • Last edited on 16 Mar 2026
DigitalOcean Gradient™ AI Inference Hub provides a single control plane for managing inference workflows. It includes a Model Catalog where you can view available foundation models, including both DigitalOcean-hosted and third-party commercial models, compare capabilities and pricing, and run inference using serverless or dedicated deployments. DigitalOcean Gradient AI Inference Hub is in public preview and enabled for all users. You can contact support for questions or assistance.
Inference Hub itself has no cost. The Model Catalog API is free to use for browsing supported models and reviewing pricing and capabilities. Costs are incurred only when you run inference or deploy models.
Serverless Inference
Serverless inference is billed by DigitalOcean for both open-source and commercial models. Prices align with each provider’s published rates for transparency.
