+## Why Use DigitalOcean ADK?
 
 - **Framework Agnostic**: Bring your existing agent code—whether built with LangGraph, LangChain, CrewAI, PydanticAI, or any Python framework. No rewrites, no lock-in.
 
 - **Pay Per Use**: Only pay for what you use with serverless agent hosting. **Currently provided at no compute cost during Public Preview!**
 
-- **Any LLM Provider**: Use OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or DigitalOcean's own Gradient™ AI serverless inference—your choice, your keys.
