Modal Serverless GPU
Comprehensive guide to running ML workloads on Modal's serverless GPU cloud platform.
When to use Modal
Use Modal when:
- Running GPU-intensive ML workloads without managing infrastructure
- Deploying ML models as auto-scaling APIs
- Running batch processing jobs (training, inference, data processing)
- Need pay-per-second GPU pricing without idle costs
- Prototyping ML applications quickly
- Running scheduled jobs (cron-like workloads)
Key features:
- Serverless GPUs: T4, L4, A10G, L40S, A100, H100, H200, B200 on-demand
- Python-native: Define infrastructure in Python code, no YAML
- Auto-scaling: Scale to zero, scale to 100+ GPUs instantly
- Sub-second cold starts: Rust-based infrastructure for fast container launches

pinecone
Managed vector database for production AI applications. Fully managed, auto-scaling, with hybrid search (dense + sparse), metadata filtering, and namespaces. Low latency (<100ms p95). Use for production RAG, recommendation systems, or semantic search at scale. Best for serverless, managed infrastructure.
6prompt-guard
Meta's 86M prompt injection and jailbreak detector. Filters malicious prompts and third-party data for LLM apps. 99%+ TPR, <1% FPR. Fast (<2ms GPU). Multilingual (8 languages). Deploy with HuggingFace or batch processing for RAG security.
6chroma
Open-source embedding database for AI applications. Store embeddings and metadata, perform vector and full-text search, filter by metadata. Simple 4-function API. Scales from notebooks to production clusters. Use for semantic search, RAG applications, or document retrieval. Best for local development and open-source projects.
6unsloth
Expert guidance for fast fine-tuning with Unsloth - 2-5x faster training, 50-80% less memory, LoRA/QLoRA optimization
5slime-rl-training
Provides guidance for LLM post-training with RL using slime, a Megatron+SGLang framework. Use when training GLM models, implementing custom data generation workflows, or needing tight Megatron-LM integration for RL scaling.
5mlflow
