What Modal does
Modal is a serverless compute platform where developers define containers and GPU workloads in Python and pay per second of use. It covers model inference with OpenAI-compatible endpoints, fine-tuning and RL training on elastic multi-node GPUs, and isolated sandboxes for coding agents and untrusted code. It targets AI teams that want GPU capacity without managing clusters.

What customers report
Results as published by Modal and its customers. Each one links to its dated source. We quote, we do not score.
It would have been really hard to build Inspect without Modal. A lot of the complexity is hidden behind just being able to spin up sandboxes very quickly with a lot of services and data, and effectively have infinite of them at any given time.Modal served 1 trillion tokens for Jev within three days of launch. Their team was proactive and responsive as we scaled to meet unprecedented demand, and we could stay focused on shipping instead of managing infrastructure.Before you buy Modal

How does usedby know who uses Modal?
Each company is linked to a public page that names it: Modal's customer page, a published case study, a press release or a job post. We save each page with a dated capture and check it again on each run. A company leaves the list only after three checks in a row that no longer find it, and at least 14 days after it was last seen. A company with a published case study or quote is never removed automatically.
What do confirmed, observed and signal mean?
Confirmed (14): a case study, a named quote or a press release. Observed (14): Modal shows the company on its own pages, for example a logo wall. Signal (0): a job post shows the company’s employees use Modal, the weakest proof. Every level counts as a customer, and each line shows its level.
