Shared Endpoints

Shared Endpoints serve a subset of models in the Modal Library from Modal-managed pools. Every model available for Shared Endpoints is also available for Dedicated Endpoints. The Library shows which serving modes each model supports. Modal manages the hardware and autoscaling, and usage is billed per token.

Create a Shared Endpoint 

Create a Shared Endpoint from the Endpoints tab in the dashboard.

Once the Endpoint is ready, the dashboard provides its URL, model name, and request examples. Shared Endpoints always require a proxy token.

Concurrency limits 

Shared Endpoints have model-specific limits on concurrent in-flight requests. The limit is shared across all Shared Endpoints using the same model in your Workspace. Requests above the limit receive an HTTP 429 response; retry them with exponential backoff and jitter.

Use a Dedicated Endpoint when you need isolated or configurable capacity.

Pricing 

Token rates are shown when you create an Endpoint and in its Usage view. Credits included with your plan cannot be used for Shared Endpoint usage. To cap out-of-pocket charges, see spend limits.

Shared Endpoint requests route through us-west and always require authentication. Modal manages their infrastructure and capacity.
