Open by Design: How NVIDIA and DigitalOcean Are Building the Stack for the Always-On Agentic Era

NVIDIA and DigitalOcean are collaborating to advance the development of open-source AI in the agentic era by addressing the need for open models that are regularly updated and improved. This collaboration aims to support AI-native teams demanding openness, model flexibility, and robust infrastructure for always-on agents. The NVIDIA Nemotron models, designed for agentic AI, enable developers to create applications requiring advanced reasoning and efficient computation. The discussion highlights the importance of thorough evaluations and traceability in AI development, as well as the evolving nature of tokenomics and the architectures needed to optimize AI workloads. The partnership also focuses on expanding the open-source ecosystem by offering tools like DigitalOcean's serverless inference and NVIDIA's accelerated computing to facilitate a seamless transition from experimentation to production for developers.
