Platform & Infrastructure

Cloud infrastructure designed for AI workloads

Every layer of Modal’s platform is engineered to give you the tools to build robust, scalable applications.

What would the cloud look like if it was truly designed for AI?

Make cloud development feel local.

  • Define everything in code

    Configure your infrastructure directly in Python, from compute and dependencies to scaling and deployment.

  • Run any image

    Bring your own container image and run it on Modal without rebuilding your workflow around the platform.

  • Primitives that feel like code objects

    Work with infrastructure through simple, composable abstractions that give you the flexibility to build whatever frontier application needs.

Make feedback loops really fast.

  • AI-native container runtime

    A container runtime built specifically for AI workloads, designed to start fast, scale efficiently, and handle demanding GPU-based applications.

  • Custom filesystem

    We’ve optimized the filesystem for the fastest startup. Files load only when they’re needed, so containers come online quickly and large images don’t slow you down.

  • Elastic, multi-cloud scheduler

    Optimized scheduler system designed to scale up instantly across 20+ clouds and 100+ regions.

Ergonomic access to GPU capacity

  • Instant access to any GPU

    Spin up the GPU you need in seconds, without waiting for capacity or managing reservations.

  • No added software to manage

    Run GPU workloads without configuring drivers, orchestration tools, or additional infrastructure.

  • Pay by the second

    Only pay for the compute you actually use, with per-second billing and no idle capacity.
