Modal is a serverless cloud platform for running compute-intensive AI workloads including inference, training, batch processing, and sandboxes. It provides a Python SDK for defining cloud environments in code, with AI-native runtime, instant autoscaling from 0 to 1000+ GPUs, sub-second cold starts, and production observability features. Workloads supported include LLM inference, fine-tuning, multi-node training, RL rollouts, and secure agent sandboxes across globally distributed GPUs.
Best for: AI developers and teams building and scaling inference, training, and agent systems
