DigitalOcean Launches AI Partner Program, Expands Ecosystem

DigitalOcean (DOCN, Financials) announced the launch of its AI Partner Program and an expansion of its AI Ecosystem at the Deploy London conference. The initiatives are designed to support startups and enterprises developing artificial intelligence applications.

The DigitalOcean AI Ecosystem provides access to GPUs from Advanced Micro Devices (AMD, Financials) and Nvidia (NVDA, Financials), alongside models from OpenAI, DeepSeek, Meta Platforms (META, Financials), and Mistral. It also integrates AI development frameworks including LangChain, LiteLLM, and dStack. Planned additions include generative media tools from Fal.ai and vector search from MongoDB.

The AI Partner Program includes four tracks for startups, technology platforms, system integrators, and venture firms. Participants receive marketing support, community access, and opportunities for product collaboration.

AMD said it is supplying high-performance GPUs for DigitalOcean's Gradient AI Agentic Cloud. Fal.ai confirmed its generative media platform will integrate directly into the Gradient AI Platform, while Traversal reported its agents built on DigitalOcean reduced production incident resolution time by 38%.

DigitalOcean serves more than 640,000 customers and reaches over 3 million developers through marketing channels. Its annual Hacktoberfest event attracts about 90,000 participants.
