Modal
The serverless platform for AI and data teams.

Modal is a serverless cloud infrastructure platform designed for AI and data teams to run CPU, GPU, and data-intensive workloads at scale. It allows developers to write Python code locally and deploy it to the cloud using composable primitives that define both logic and hardware requirements. The platform features instant container startup, autoscaling from 0 to 1000+ GPUs, multi-cloud routing, and built-in observability tools.
Developers write Python code using the Modal SDK, which specifies hardware and logic together, and Modal automatically provisions and scales cloud GPU resources to run those workloads.
