Review Modal?

Reviewers are uniformly positive, though the feedback comes almost entirely from founders and teams using Modal in production. The clearest pattern is fast spin-up, clean Python-first workflows, reliable sandboxes, and the ability to scale compute up and down without managing GPUs, Kubernetes, or other infrastructure. Makers of Fathom, Kodezi, and viktor.com describe it as core infrastructure for AI jobs, code execution, and always-on agents.

used Modal to build Reactive Workflows [LW24]

•8 reviews

Modals VM's power our AI agent environments, allowing them to view pull requests, inspect files, and even execute code! Thanks to the Modal team for prioritizing our feature requests and building a GREAT headless compute environment.

used Modal to build Viktor for Microsoft Teams

•9 reviews

Viktor runs its agents server-side, 24/7, which means spinning up isolated sandboxes for thousands of teams at once and scaling back to zero the moment they go idle. We looked at rolling our own on Kubernetes and at the usual serverless suspects. Modal was the only one where a Python engineer could define the whole sandbox, schedule, and scaling story in code and ship it the same afternoon. It is a big part of why a small team can run this much compute without standing up a platform team to babysit it.

Serverless GPU infrastructure helps us scale to workloads of hundreds of H200s/B200s within seconds to maintain low latency for our retrieval models in a cost-effective way.

Modal helps us spin up Python workloads with speed and control. Great for agents that need to run fast, ephemeral jobs. A dream for short-lived compute without DevOps overhead.

used Modal to build Outpaint - Ad Reframe

•3 reviews

Shoutout to Modal for running our models. Outpainting full films takes serious GPU horsepower, and Modal lets us scale that compute up and down without ever thinking about servers. It's been a game changer for us.

used Modal to build AnythingLLM

•6 reviews

For when you want to quickly spin-off a fine-tuned model from AnythingLLM. There is no easier way to build that pipeline we offer in-app than using Modal Labs for creating fine-tuning jobs on powerful GPUs for a fair price.

Huge shoutout to Modal! The cloud infrastructure made spinning up AI and ML tasks for ScaryStories.Live effortlessly. We couldn’t have scaled our real-time horror experiences without you. We’re truly grateful for your generous support in our early days!
