Model APIs

Create your own frontier

Access the latest in open weight intelligence, optimized for performant inference on any workload.

Open intelligence served on production-grade infra

Run open weight models on optimized endpoints with OpenAI-compatible APIs. Backed by the latest inference serving techniques and a multi-cloud compute plane.

Deploy the latest open weight models the day they launch.

Get started
  • Deploy frontier models

    Pay only for the tokens you use, with intelligent routing to maximize KV cache hits and minimize cost.

  • Production-grade quality

    Evals verified by leading model labs for production serving performance.

  • Multi-cloud reliability

    Served from Modal's multi-cloud, autoscaling compute pool for consistent reliability.

Production-grade performance

  • Kernels tuned for inference

    Our FlashAttention-4 contributions add KV parallelism and support irregular memory access for decode-heavy workloads.

  • KV cache-aware routing

    Intelligent, stateful routing keeps cache hit rate high for long-running workloads, reducing time to first token and serving costs.

  • Balance work across replicas

    Load-aware placement splits concurrent sessions across replicas and sends new sessions to new capacity during scale-ups.

How we serve trillions of tokens
Kimi K2.6 throughput versus per-user interactivity: optimized serving is 5.6 times more efficient and 2.8 times faster per user than the baseline.

Designed for security and data privacy

  • Zero Data Retention (ZDR) by default

    Zero data retention means we never store prompts or responses from Model APIs.

  • No data use

    Your data is never used to train models. Inference runs entirely on Modal, so nothing is shared with model labs.

  • Encrypted in transit

    All traffic to and from Model APIs is encrypted in transit with TLS

Optimizing the FlashAttention-4 kernel

Key/value parallelism and irregular memory access make the kernel faster for decode-heavy inference.
