## What’s next for Kimi K3 on DigitalOcean Kimi K3 is available today on DigitalOcean Inference Engine. Access it through Serverless Inference for fully managed, usage-based inference with no infrastructure to operate, or add it to your existing model mix with the Inference Router to intelligently route requests based on cost, latency, or workload. We’re excited to see what customers build with K3, and we’ll be sharing more soon about how teams are using it in production. Want to see Kimi K3 in action? We built the same AI agent with and without Kimi K3, then compared the results side by side. See what changed, what didn’t, and where Kimi K3 made the biggest difference. Check it out: We Built the Same App Twice With and Without Kimi K3 [...] Standing up a new model, integrating it into DigitalOcean’s Inference Engine, and showcasing its unique attributes on day 0 takes three things: the right hardware, a tuned serving stack, and rigorous verification against Moonshot’s own benchmarks

You can now access DigitalOcean Serverless Endpoints directly from build.nvidia.com, letting you experiment with elite open‑weight models like Zhipu AI GLM‑5, Moonshot AI Kimi‑K2.5, and MiniMax‑M2.5, and other frontier models from DeepSeek, Meta, and OpenAI. Start building with NVIDIA NemoClaw and the Agent Toolkit on build.nvidia.com, then deploy seamlessly to DigitaOcean’s fully managed Serverless Inference, eliminating infrastructure headaches and giving you more time to focus on shipping AI-powered products. Product Update Now Available: Open-Weight Models on DigitalOcean Serverless Inference You can now run these powerful open-weight models directly on DigitalOcean Serverless Inference, fully integrated with your existing environment: [...] Models available now: DeepSeek-V3.2 DeepSeek-V4-Pro DeepSeek-V4-Flash Kimi K2.6 Kimi K2.5 GLM-5 GLM-5.1 GLM-5.2 gpt-oss-120b Qwen 3.5 MiMo-V2.5 MiMo-V2.5-Pro MiniMax M2.5 Qwen 3 Coder Read the documentation to learn how to str

If you choose to go with serverless inference, DigitalOcean offers Kimi K3 on the Serverless Inference API as a pay-per-token option at the $3/$15 rate. If you choose to go the self-hosted GPU route, you can use DigitalOcean’s GPU Droplets, Dedicated Inference, or long-term reserved GPUs. With GPU Droplets, you manage the stack, and with Dedicated Inference, DigitalOcean runs a managed vLLM endpoint that you bring the Kimi K3 weights to. The 4-bit native options DigitalOcean provides are the AMD Instinct MI350X and the NVIDIA B300. Availability can change without notice, so be sure to check what is currently available and on which regions before planning your deployment. [...] Kimi K3’s first-party API is $3.00 input / $0.30 cached input / $15.00 output per 1M tokens, with DigitalOcean live at the same $3/$15. The cheapest native-FP4 single node is ~8x MI350X at ~$4.76/GPU-hour. This is approximately $38/hr and $27,800/month on a reserved GPU Droplet that is running whether or not anyo
