What is Modal?

We created a containerization platform using Rust that focuses on achieving the fastest cold-start times possible. This platform enables effortless scaling from hundreds of GPUs down to zero in just seconds, meaning you only incur costs for the resources you actively use. Functions can be deployed to the cloud in seconds, and it supports custom container images along with specific hardware requirements. There's no need to deal with YAML; our system makes the process straightforward. Startups and academic researchers can take advantage of free compute credits up to $25,000 on Modal, applicable to GPU computing and access to high-demand GPU types. Modal keeps a close eye on CPU usage based on fractional physical cores, where each physical core equates to two vCPUs, and it also monitors memory consumption in real-time. You are billed only for the actual CPU and memory resources consumed, with no hidden fees involved. This novel strategy not only simplifies deployment but also enhances cost efficiency for users, making it an attractive solution for a wide range of applications. Additionally, our platform ensures that users can focus on their projects without worrying about resource management complexities.
