Problem
Enterprises and developers building large‑scale AI applications often face fragmented cloud services, high inference costs, and latency that limit real‑time performance. Scaling workloads to billions of tokens or millions of queries can become prohibitively expensive and operationally complex.
Solution
DigitalOcean provides a unified AI platform that integrates silicon, GPU infrastructure, and inference agents into a single stack. By using AMD Instinct™ GPUs, the platform delivers up to twice the inference throughput and up to 40 % lower latency compared with typical cloud offerings. Pricing is structured to improve as usage grows, reducing per‑token costs for high‑volume deployments. The end‑to‑end solution includes pre‑configured runtimes and agents that simplify deployment, monitoring, and scaling of AI workloads from real‑time chat agents to trillion‑token batch jobs. Customers can therefore run production AI workloads with sub‑second time‑to‑first‑token and consistent latency across varying context lengths.
Target Audience
Primary customers are AI product teams, data‑science platforms, and enterprises that need to run high‑throughput inference workloads such as conversational agents, recommendation engines, and large‑scale language model processing.
