NVIDIA and DigitalOcean are collaborating to support open-source AI development for production-ready agentic systems. The partnership addresses key challenges developers face, including access to regularly maintained open models like NVIDIA Nemotron, evaluation standards for AI applications, and infrastructure that can handle always-on agent workloads. Together, they are building a unified stack that enables developers to experiment with open-source models and scale them to production without rebuilding their infrastructure.
