DigitalOcean is building an AI-native cloud for developers and technology companies creating the next generation of AI applications. Its Inference Engine and Managed Agents helps teams run models and agents in production without having to assemble every part of the infrastructure themselves.The Inference Engine gives you access to a range of AI models through serverless and dedicated inference. Its Inference Router directs requests to suitable models based on the task and configured preferences, helping you balance response quality, speed, and cost. This matters for agentic applications, where a single task can involve many model calls and not every step needs the same model.Managed Agents brings agent execution, inference, and tool access together on DigitalOcean. Each session runs in an isolated microVM and can be paused, resumed, checkpointed, or forked. Active CPU billing is designed for workloads that run intermittently, so you can avoid paying for agent CPU time when work is paused.Through Action Gateway, agents can discover and use tools across hundreds of providers, including services used for software development, payments, and data workflows. Credentials are retrieved when needed, rather than being exposed directly to the model or prompt. You can also bring your own MCP services.These capabilities suit AI startups building coding assistants, research agents, workflow automation, and other products that need models to reason and take action. DigitalOcean also provides the underlying cloud infrastructure to support wider application requirements.Visit our marketplace today to explore offers on DigitalOcean and more great SaaS tools for your next AI project.
