Generated on 17 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](https://docs.digitalocean.com/platform/product-lifecycle/index.html.md#public-preview) and enabled for all users. You can [contact support](https://cloudsupport.digitalocean.com) for questions or assistance.
