Gradient™ AI Platform
Gradient is DigitalOcean’s AI and machine learning platform designed for developers building and deploying models. It operates on a pay-as-you-go pricing model, allowing teams to manage costs based on actual usage rather than fixed commitments. The service integrates into existing workflows to streamline the creation of AI applications without requiring complex infrastructure setup.
Choose this platform when you need a straightforward, usage-based environment for AI development without upfront costs. However, be aware that there is no free tier available, meaning every resource consumed incurs a charge from the start. This structure suits projects with predictable budgets but may surprise teams expecting a trial period or zero-cost entry point for small-scale experiments.
