DigitalOcean MI350X Droplets run DeepSeek V4
DigitalOcean has announced the production readiness of DeepSeek V4 inference running on its new AMD Instinct MI350X GPU Droplets. Built in collaboration with AMD and the sgl-project team, the optimized offering utilizes the ROCm software stack and SGLang backend to deliver a ~10x throughput enhancement.
Collaborative open-source software optimization is the ultimate equalizer for AMD's Instinct GPUs, showing that raw hardware specs are only as good as the inference engine running on them.
* DeepSeek and SGLang's optimizations prove that non-Nvidia hardware is fully viable for production-grade frontier model inference.
* The 10x throughput increase highlights how critical tailor-made software kernels (like SGLang's attention kernels) are for complex architectures like DeepSeek.
* DigitalOcean gains a competitive edge by delivering high-throughput GPU droplets at a lower price point than traditional hyperscalers.
