Modal REST API

Serverless compute platform for AI/ML workloads

Modal is a serverless compute platform designed for running AI/ML workloads, data pipelines, and backend services. Developers use Modal to deploy functions that scale from zero to thousands of containers automatically, with built-in GPU support and dependency management. The platform handles all infrastructure complexity while providing pay-per-use pricing for compute resources.
