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.
Instant AI background removal for high-resolution portraits, e-commerce product catalogs, and automated API workflows.
Automatically separates foreground subjects from complex backgrounds with hair-level edge precision, exporting transparent PNGs or custom solid and scenic backdrops up to 50 megapixels.
Integrate automated background cutouts into e-commerce platforms, mobile apps, and photo booths with cloud processing speeds of up to 500 images per minute.
Remove backgrounds directly inside Photoshop with a single click, returning a non-destructive editable layer mask for fine-tuning complex studio composites.
Drag and drop entire folders of product photography or portrait shoots for unattended batch processing with preset output dimensions and background templates.
Offers robust e-commerce product scene generation and batch editing, but can feel more complex for simple cutouts.
