Modal

What it does

Modal runs containers on serverless GPUs with sub-second cold starts — inference, fine-tuning, batch jobs — defined entirely in Python. Infrastructure that took a platform team becomes a decorator.

Pay-per-second with a generous free allowance makes experimentation free and production sane.

Standout features

• Serverless GPU containers
• Sub-second cold starts
• Python-defined infrastructure
• Volume discounts for GPUs
