About Modal

Modal revolutionizes the AI development workflow by allowing developers to run Python code in the cloud with purely code-based infrastructure definitions. Just decorate your Python functions and they instantly run on A100s or H100s with zero DevOps required.

Pros & Cons

Pros
  • Write regular Python, run remotely instantly (Serverless)
  • Container building is fully managed via code
  • Scale to thousands of workers in seconds
  • Pay only for the exact seconds your code runs
Cons
  • Not suitable for long-running manual server sessions
  • Requires writing logic specifically around Modals API
  • Storage is ephemeral unless mapped to network drives
