About We built a container system from scratch in rust for the fastest cold-start times. Scale to hundreds of GPUs and back down to zero in seconds, and pay only for what you use. Deploy functions to the cloud in seconds, with custom container images and hardware requirements. Never write a single line of YAML. Startups and academic researchers can get up to $25k free compute credits on Modal. These credits can be used towards GPU compute and accessing in-demand GPU types. Modal measures the CPU utilization continuously in terms of the number of fractional physical cores, each physical core is equivalent to 2 vCPUs. Memory consumption is measured continuously. For both memory and CPU, you only pay for what you actually use, and nothing more.
