Why Choose Modal for Your Research?







“Verifying an LLM-based approach that relies on test-time compute can be challenging to scale. Through collaboration with ARC Prize, the MIT + Cornell team partnered with Modal, a company that provides high-performance AI infrastructure, to provide both credits and infrastructure to make this possible. Huge thanks Modal for working with us to spin up an environment that efficiently ran the MIT/Cornell model for verification.”

Kevin Ellis & Zenna Tavares, Researchers

“Check out Tokasaurus on Modal to make Llama-1B brrr! This repeated sampling example shows off two engine features that are important for serving small models: very low CPU overhead and automatic shared prefix exploitation with Hydragen.”

Jordan Juravsky, Researcher
