DigitalOcean GPU Droplets are on-demand single- and 8-GPU VMs with per-second billing and fast (about one minute) provisioning.

GPU types

DigitalOcean sells fixed droplet shapes only: a gpu_count of 2 or 4 is rejected at submit, and the H200 is single-GPU. The H200’s 141 GB fits a full-parameter fine-tune of a 7B to 8B model, or LoRA on 30B-class models, on one GPU.

Submitting a job

Notes

DigitalOcean also lists AMD MI300X droplets, but they are not yet enabled on Veri: a provider="digitalocean" submit with gpu_type="MI300X-192GB" returns a 400 listing the offered shapes. AMD MI300X training is not yet available on any provider.
DigitalOcean GPU capacity fluctuates minute-to-minute. A submit that hits CAPACITY_UNAVAILABLE after retrying across regions is not billed — check veri gpu list --provider digitalocean and retry.
veri gpu list --provider digitalocean shows one AVAILABLE entry per region with current capacity, or a single UNAVAILABLE row when a shape has no capacity anywhere. This signal comes from DigitalOcean’s size catalog, which can lag real launch acceptance in both directions.
