Serverless GPUs for real-time AI with sub-second cold starts
Memory and GPU snapshotting restores containers in roughly 2–4 seconds, which is essential for voice agents and other interactive workloads.
Access thousands of GPUs across 12+ GPU types and multiple clouds with no reservations or lock-in, scaling automatically on traffic bursts.
Deploy LLMs, voice pipelines, and image or video models from your own code or Dockerfile, with REST, WebSocket, and streaming endpoints.
Real-time logs, metrics, and scaling events with native OpenTelemetry support for plugging into existing monitoring tools.
Serverless cloud infrastructure for AI and data workloads
Write plain Python, attach GPUs or containers, and deploy HTTPS endpoints that autoscale with traffic and scale to zero when idle.
Launch isolated, secure environments for coding agents, RL rollouts, and untrusted code, with sub-second starts and support for over a million concurrent sandboxes.
Run fine-tunes, LoRA, full training, and reinforcement learning on elastic single or multi-node GPU capacity with no quota requests.
Serve LLMs and image, video, or audio models through OpenAI-compatible endpoints, or bring your own inference stack and let Modal handle the infrastructure.
