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.
Build, train, and deploy computer vision for the physical world
Label thousands of images in minutes using frontier models and custom filters, then curate datasets for training.
Combine detection, tracking, and logic blocks to orchestrate actions, update databases, and connect to industrial systems.
Run high-speed inference in the cloud or on edge devices, processing live video and images wherever the application lives.
Get into production quickly with an agent that sees the world, understands what is happening, and triggers actions.
