“We've previously managed to break services like GitHub because of our load, so when Modal was able to handle the massive scale of our AI weekend event so smoothly, that meant a lot.”

Anton Osika, Founder and CTO

“Leveraging Modal allowed us to focus on what we do best – training state of the art video generation models – without worrying about MLops and infrastructure.”

Prady Modukuru, CEO

“The beauty of Modal is that all you need to know is that you can scale your function calls in the cloud with a few lines of Python.”

Georg Kucsko, Co-founder and CTO
