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.
Institution-grade crypto and equities intelligence, delivered through a chat-style AI analyst.
Ask questions about tokens, protocols, or equities in plain language and receive answers backed by visible sources rather than unsupported assertions.
Market prices, onchain events, SEC filings, and news are normalized into one structured layer so the model reasons over consistent inputs.
API, MCP server, CLI, and agent skills let teams wire Surf intelligence into their own agents, dashboards, and internal research workflows.
Purpose-built modules for tracking market-moving developments and for looking up structured context on projects and assets.
