Modal
Modal is a cloud computing infrastructure company focused on providing developers and enterprises with a high-performance serverless computing platform. Its core services include GPU-accelerated computation, containerized task scheduling, and sandbox environment execution, supporting compute-intensive workloads such as machine learning training, inference, and data processing. Modal is characterized by on-demand billing, rapid deployment, and scalability, serving users in AI development and scientific computing.
Core Facts
E2B provides code execution sandboxes with the goal of becoming a universal runtime environment for AI agents.
Generated code should be run inside an isolated sandbox; common implementations include Docker combined with seccomp, gVisor user-space kernel isolation, and the E2B cloud sandbox service.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Modal 对 GPU Function 不支持 nonpreemptible 标志，每个 Function 都可能被抢占，抢占概率随运行时长增加。
在 Modal 标价下，一台 8×H100 机器连续运行一周（168小时）比 Nodus 多花 $1,813。
Modal 提供智能体技能，通过 `modal skills install` 将技能和文档放入项目的 `.agents/` 或 `.claude/` 文件夹，智能体驱动 Modal CLI 和 SDK。
Nodus 在 2026 年 10 月 11 日的试点中，使用 Qwen2.5-0.5B 模型在单张 NVIDIA L4 上运行相同配方，监督微调费用比 Modal 低 67%，持续预训练费用低 42.5%；计入一次失败尝试后微调节省降至 24.7%。
Modal 集群最多支持 32 个节点和 256 块 GPU，配备 3,200 Gbps RDMA 网络（B300 上为 6,400 Gbps），采用帮派调度并物理同地部署，每个节点必须使用其所有 GPU。
Modal 的单次 Function 调用最多运行 24 小时。
Common AI code execution sandbox solutions include containerization (Docker), WebAssembly runtimes, and cloud sandbox services such as E2B and Modal.
Participants in the inference infrastructure space include Together AI, Replicate, and Modal, among others.
Modal is a cloud-based serverless computing platform focused on launching GPU containers on demand without the need to pre-provision servers.
OpenScience can send longer-running jobs to Modal, user-owned servers, or Slurm/PBS clusters.
