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.
Open-source workflow automation built for AI agents and technical teams
Build automations with a visual node editor, then insert JavaScript or Python code nodes when you need custom logic.
Connect to 500+ native services, any REST API via HTTP nodes, and any agent or coding assistant through MCP.
Run agents alongside regular steps, inspect every decision, and add structured inputs, guardrails and human approval steps.
Watch workflows execute live, open past runs, replay a run with mocked data and re-run just the step that failed.
Unmatched ecosystem of app connectors and reliability, but significantly more expensive and lacks n8n's self-hosting freedom.
