I just need some GPUs… I need a cost-effective, reliable Kubernetes solution that is easy for everyone on the team to access. And that's DO for us.
Richard Li
Founder & CEO, Amorphous Data
Getting started with DigitalOcean's Gradient AI Platform was incredibly easy. We really appreciated the intuitive design... setting up and deploying our first agent took just like a few minutes. This allowed us to quickly implement AI capabilities without requiring extensive setup processes or even specialized expertise from our side. And that was truly a game changer for us.

DigitalOcean's Gradient Platform has lowered the threshold for deploying complex AI models, making it easier to build and test proof-of-concept applications. The seamless integration of GPU-powered services and the ease of deploying models has allowed our teams to focus on innovation rather than infrastructure management.
