Serverless GPUUse AI Platform for a serverless inference and an agent development toolkit, powered by some of the world's most powerful LLMs.
Spin-Up Timeyou can spin up in seconds.
TerraformGPU Droplets mesh seamlessly with DigitalOcean’s Kubernetes service, CLI, API, Terraform, giving you enterprise-grade flexibility in deploying containerized ML workloads.
GPU Hardware
Multi-GPU NodesGPU Droplets range from single-GPU setups to powerful 8-GPU configurations, each coming with a boot disk (for OS and frameworks) and a scratch disk (for training data staging).

Pricing Model
Per HourOn-demand pricing starts around $0.76 to $11.19 per GPU/hour, depending on the hardware (e.g., NVIDIA H100, H200, AMD MI300X).
SubscriptionOn-demand; Reserved (longer contracts); Spot; Contract; Serverless inference
Reserved DiscountReserved pricing with longer contracts can go as low as $1.91 to $7.94 per GPU/hour, making it cost-effective for sustained workloads.
Hidden FeesPowered-off Droplets still accrue charges since resources remain reserved, so always destroy droplets when not in use.
Pay-as-you-goBilling is per-second with a minimum 5-minute round-up. That means you only pay for actual usage.

Key Strengths
Integration with DigitalOcean platform services (Vector Databases, Spaces Object Storage, Kubernetes).
HIPAA-eligible and SOC 2 compliant with enterprise-grade SLAs and 24/7 support.
Wide selection of AMD and NVIDIA GPU hardware with high network bandwidth (10 Gbps public, 25 Gbps private).
Preconfigured environment with pre-installed deep learning tools and immediate provisioning via console or API.
Known Limitations
GPU availability limited to specific datacenters (currently NYC2, TOR1, ATL1, RIC1, AMS3 mentioned).
Powered-off Droplets still accrue charges since resources remain reserved.
Some capacity requires contacting sales to reserve.
