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.
Self-hosted OpenAI Whisper with a queue, web GUI and REST API
Upload an audio or video file and receive a completed transcription with downloadable SRT, VTT, TXT or JSON output.
Submit a POST to /v1/transcribe and WAAS returns a job_id that you poll via /v1/jobs/<job_id> or receive by email or webhook callback.
Receive an email with download links or let WAAS POST a signed payload (X-WAAS-Signature) to your webhook when the job completes, so you can plug transcription into any pipeline.
Open a .jojo file, play each segment while holding Control, correct mistakes, and save the corrected file locally, with no data leaving your browser.
