Bare Metal GPUs
DigitalOcean’s Bare Metal GPUs provide dedicated, high-powered machines specifically for running intensive AI and machine learning workloads. You get direct access to the hardware, bypassing virtualization overhead to maximize performance for heavy computational tasks. This setup is ideal for teams that need raw processing power without the abstraction of shared resources.
The model suits users who require consistent, high-performance compute for specific training or inference jobs. However, there is no free tier available, meaning you pay for every hour the instance is active. This pay-as-you-go structure demands careful budget management, as costs accumulate immediately upon deployment without any trial period to test performance.
