Infrastructure service

ModalInfrastructure service

Serverless GPU compute: a Python decorator puts a function on an accelerator, scales it from zero to thousands of containers and stops billing when it stops running — aimed at inference, fine-tuning and batch jobs rather than reserved clusters.

Modal BatchInfrastructure service

Batch execution of large jobs across Modal's fleet, described as one line of code on the product page.

Modal InferenceInfrastructure service

Serve, scale and optimise model inference on Modal's runtime, with sub-second cold starts and autoscaling across regions.

Modal SandboxesInfrastructure service

Isolated, instantly-started containers for running untrusted or agent-generated code at scale — the primitive behind AI app-generation products.

Modal TrainingInfrastructure service

Managed training runs on Modal's fleet, configured in Python alongside the rest of a team's code.
