Looking forward to another fun @digitalocean Merge HH, this one with our friends from @NVIDIAAI @sgl_project and @MLHacks. Only 2 more this year - don't miss 'em.
Most agents ship once and stay the same. The best ones learn from every run.
Nov 12 in SF: happy hour with @NVIDIAAI, @sgl_project, and @MLHacks after SGLang Summit. Lightning talks and demos on building that loop. Request your spot: do.co/48pUak2

M3.1 Flash is now on DigitalOcean! Show us what you build with this new @MiniMax_AI model and @digitalocean 🐰
.@MiniMax_AI reports 73.67% on DeepSWE and 72.5% on AutomationBench-AA, which it calls the best result among open models.
M3.1 Flash is now on DigitalOcean Serverless Inference and Dedicated Inference. $0.15 input, $0.60 output per 1M tokens. do.co/4xsz0fI

Day 0 of #OpenIntelligenceSummit is in the books!! And we released @digitalocean Agent Learning Services and Agent Data Services. Big day! Even bigger day tomorrow - cannot wait for everyone to join us in person for the main summit. See you there 🤩
This morning we launched Agent Learning Services and Agent Data Services. Right now, builders at Day 0 of the Open Intelligence Summit are hands-on with open models and DigitalOcean’s agentic stack, with @SwiftAlphaOne and the @MLHacks crew leading the way.
It’s the best part of ders choosing their own models and tools, and owning what they make.
The summit keynote streams tomorrow at 1 PM PT. do.co/4hRVUs9

Catch it at the first user, not the four-hundredth.
A new user’s bank link fails, the agent says “try again later,” and nothing shows up in the logs. Watch a team find the bug and fix it before anyone else hits it, with Agent Learning Services and Agent Data Services, launching today.

Who wants to get ice cream with me later today!? 🍦🍦
A sweet treat to get you through SF Tech Week.
Our SomiSomi pop-up is available all week. Be sure to check out flavors inspired by our friends at @MiniMax_AI, @arcee_ai, and @weaviate_io.

Ben Affleck talking about convolutional neural networks & training open models was not on my 2026 bingo card. More of this.
Ben Affleck reveals he writes Python, understands convolutional neural networks, worked extensively with GPUs, and used his celebrity status to get private looks at Google and OpenAI’s video models
“I’ve always been kind of into computers since I was young. Then, when film alog film to digital, I became more interested in that aspect of it. The visual-effects workflow for many years has included machine learning, so I can write pretty shitty Python scripts and stuff like that.
“With convolutional neural networks, which were the precursors to what the transformer can do, which is much more computation simultaneously, you would do things like look at what’s called a tensor. That’s the numerical translation of a visual image in numbers, like the batch number, the frame number and the red, green and blue values of each pixel in each frame. It’s just that simple. That numeric is called a tensor.
“You’d use a convolutional neural network to identify patterns that reveal what’s called edge detection or feature extraction, which is identifying patterns well enough to know, this is where the window ledge is, so we can more easily take the green-screen image out and replace it with something.
“That was familiar to me early on because, prior to Artists Equity, I had a small visual-effects company. I’ve worked with GPUs a lot too. The visual-effects guys said, ‘Hey, you should see. There are a couple: Google and this other company, OpenAI, are doing really interesting stuff with transformers in video.’
“I’ve learned that I can actually just call up and go, ‘Hey, it’s Ben Affleck. Can I come see what you’re doing?’ Sometimes people say yes, to my astonishment.”

Tweet is such a good brand word. It’s the reason I still have such a hard time transitioning to the name X.

Managed agent infra is having its Heroku moment, and I don't think we're going back.
Great to see this from DO, one of the OG companies to democratize infra for devs ❤️

DigitalOcean Managed Agents is now in public preview.
Run Claude Code, Codex, or your own LangGraph agent in a runtime environment that pauses when idle. Put its tools behind one governed endpoint, and pick from 75+ open and proprietary models. One cloud, one bill.

Excited to be welcoming @rbren_dev, @ivanburazin, @alxnails, and Leix Xu to the Open Intelligence Summit.
Open intelligence is more than just open weights, it's providing builders with choice and ownership at every layer of the stack, agents to infra.
Join us!

The first speakers for Open Intelligence Summit are live.
If you're building an AI-native company, the agenda covers the decisions in front of you: who owns your data, what inference costs you, how your agents run, and what your users experience.
