    NVIDIA on GPU Scaling

    “Agents, as we know, are very easy to scale up, but the compute hasn't been so easy to scale. So we're using Modal to kind of evaluate the agent-generated code. We profile the hardware code, we run formal verification, and all of these require GPUs.”

    Ramp 3M+ Inspect Sessions

    “Inspect today is like nearly 3 million sessions in total, like many thousands of sessions per day. Modal is able to scale that, and it really makes it just possible for us to have Inspect be this very parallel, very backgrounded agent that's available wherever our builders work.”

    DoorDash Shelf Processing

    “We scan the shelves of stores, and we need to understand what's on the shelf, what's available. So processing those images is something we all run on Modal.”

    TypeSafe AI MapReduce Flexibility

    “This is kind of why the team loves Modal so much. It becomes so easy to just spawn up arbitrary MapReduces on all of the data we process. And that is, I think, where flexibility really, really shines.”

    Decagon Concurrency Control

    “We run dedicated endpoints on Modal because we can control the throughput, we can control the concurrency, we can control the scaling, and that's been really helpful for us to get good performance, but also manage our costs.”

    Snorkel 1000x Burst Scale

    “It's a good problem to have for both sides, but we'll get an order in from a large lab we work with, and we suddenly need to scale up a thousand X in 24 hours. And that's when the quality of all of that really becomes make or break. And we've loved the experience and the trust of working with Modal on that kind of thing.”
