Dedicated Inference
DigitalOcean Dedicated Inference allows you to deploy both open-source and commercial large language models on dedicated GPUs as an inference endpoint. This service is designed for developers who need a reliable infrastructure to serve AI models without managing the underlying hardware themselves. It provides a straightforward way to host your AI applications, ensuring they have the necessary computational resources to process requests efficiently and scale as needed.
Choose this solution when you require dedicated GPU resources for running LLMs rather than shared instances. Be aware that there is no free tier available for this service, so you will incur costs immediately upon usage. The pricing model operates on a pay-as-you-go basis, meaning you only pay for the resources you actually consume, which can help manage expenses if your inference traffic is variable or unpredictable.
