Modal provides a cloud infrastructure optimized for AI workloads. The company has developed proprietary technologies to accelerate the inference of trained AI models to reduce computational costs and latency between user requests and AI responses. Customers can run their own or open-source AI models using Python syntax while remaining in their application code, executing tasks using the Modal SDK. Modal's container engine launches GPUs in less than 1 second when calling your inference function. The platform also provides code-based model training, batch job execution, running AI-generated code in dynamically defined sandboxes and high-performance GPU notebooks.
