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.

Every model uses a consistent provider/model format so the same model across providers can be compared directly.
Side-by-side context window, output limit, reasoning, tool calling, structured output, and temperature support.
Input and output prices per million tokens listed alongside release and update dates.
Covers closed flagship APIs and open-weight models from many labs in one sortable catalogue.
