Claude Fable 5.1 is now available through DigitalOcean Serverless Inference, the Agent Platform, and the ADK. A point release on Claude Fable 5, Anthropic reports gains across agentic coding, long-running agentic workflows, and knowledge work, including a jump from 42.0% to 55.8% on Terminal-Bench 4.0, plus a 75% cut to cache-read pricing that lowers overall cost by roughly 25-45% depending on workload. Anthropic recommends it as a direct upgrade wherever Fable 5 is used today.
Memphis (MEM1) Now Available
Memphis (MEM1) is now available as a DigitalOcean data center region. MEM1 expands DigitalOcean's footprint to 21 data centers across 11 global regions.
Available at Launch
For current regional coverage across all products, see the availability matrix.
Security and Compliance
MEM1 security certifications are documented in our Security Reports and Certifications Center.
As with every DigitalOcean region, your compute, storage, networking, and inference sit on one platform and one bill.
Z.ai's GLM-5.3 is now available on DigitalOcean Inference Engine, a post-training-only upgrade to GLM-5.2 delivering a 50% gain on Z.ai's Code Bench and state-of-the-art CyberGym vulnerability-discovery results, with a 1M-token context window and tunable low/high/max reasoning effort.
GLM-5.3-Flash, Z.ai's first natively multimodal model in the GLM-5 series, is now available through DigitalOcean Inference Engine. A hybrid sparse-and-linear attention architecture makes its 1M-token context window substantially cheaper to serve, delivering GLM-5.2-class-or-better coding and agentic performance at roughly one-tenth the cost, under the MIT License.
v5 Droplets are now generally available in the MEM1, RIC1, ATL1, and MKC1 data center regions. Powered by 5th Gen AMD EPYC™ processors, v5 delivers up to 30% higher performance per-core compared to our previous generation Droplets, while giving you the flexibility to configure vCPU, memory, and storage independently and pay for only the resources you use. You can deploy v5 in both Shared and General Purpose configurations across standalone Droplets and Kubernetes node pools, alongside all existing Droplet plans.
Qwen3.8-Max, a 2.4 trillion-parameter mixture-of-experts model, is now available on DigitalOcean Inference Engine through Serverless Inference. This is an updated release in the Qwen3.8 family: on top of the long-context and agentic strengths of the earlier Qwen3.8 model, Qwen3.8-Max adds native image and video input, and a 1M-token context window built in.
DeepSeek-V4-Pro-0813 is a 1.6T-parameter, 49B-active MoE reasoning model now available through DigitalOcean Serverless Inference and Inference Router. It scores 53 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, well above the open-weights median of 27, and supports a 1M-token context window under an MIT license with no commercial-use restrictions.
Alibaba's Qwen3.8-2.4T-A95B, a 2.4T-parameter MoE model with a 1M-token context window is now available via DigitalOcean Serverless Inference.
Spot GPU Droplets are now in Public Preview, giving you access to latest-generation GPUs for short-lived, fault-tolerant work like batch training, batch inference, and rendering.
Droplets are interruptible and can be reclaimed at any time. We aim to give at least two hours' notice. Terms and Conditions apply.
DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731, DeepSeek's latest release optimized for agentic coding and autonomous workflows, is now available through DigitalOcean Inference Engine. A 284B-parameter mixture-of-experts model with only 13B parameters active per request, this model delivers fast inference at a fraction of the compute cost of a dense model of comparable size. A full re-post-training pass focused on autonomous task execution pushes its agentic performance ahead of DeepSeek's own V4-Pro, despite the smaller active parameter count. It excels at repo-scale coding agent workflows, multi-step tool use, and production-grade agentic loops.
