DigitalOcean Gradient™ AI Agentic Cloud

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

DigitalOcean Gradient™ AI Platform

Build AI agents on GPU-powered infrastructure using foundation models and resources such as knowledge bases and agent routes.

DigitalOcean Gradient™ AI GPU Droplets

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

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.

DigitalOcean Gradient™ AI 1-Click Models

1-Click Models let you deploy third-party generative AI models on DigitalOcean Gradient™ AI GPU Droplets with no additional setup or configuration.

Paperspace

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.

Latest Updates

18 December 2025

• The following models are now available on DigitalOcean Gradient™ AI Platform for serverless inference and Agent Development Kit:

  • Claude Opus 4.5

  • Claude Opus 4.1

  • Claude Sonnet 4.5

  For more information, see the Available Models page.

17 December 2025

• Knowledge base chunking and retrieval are now in public preview. Chunking splits your documents into smaller units before indexing, and existing data sources default to section-based chunking.

  You can update chunking settings in the control panel or via the API, and retrieve recent chunks using the retrieval endpoint. For more details, see the API reference and chunking best practices.

11 December 2025

• Gradient AI Platform also now supports the Qwen3 Embedding 0.6B (Multilingual) model from Alibaba Qwen in public preview. Select this model for multilingual indexing workflows. Learn more on the embedding models page.
